Illness generates a need for sympathy from others, not for apologies from
the sufferer. So ... no problem, and I'm glad you are well again.

Good. So if you have sendmail configured correctly, you should be able to
send mail to me directly. (Or to anyone else, for that matter, since we know
that port 25 communications get through). That means it is time to focus on
whatever operational mail problems you are having. I'd guess that whatever
hosts at your ISP you were trying to deal with were not running smtp.
Based on the logs you quoted (excerpts only below), it looks like you have
some errors in your sendmail.cf file. As I read the errors, eithe you don't
have a Local Delivery Agent defined (the program sendmail uses to deliver
mail to local addresses, sometimes "deliver") and you don't have a directory
specified for queued messages.
At this point you need help from someone used to setting up sendmail. These
are problems I've never seen, because in my experience defaul sendmail
configurations always got them right. So I don't know how to troubleshoot
these ... beyond suggesting that if you created a custom sendmail.cf file,
you try using the fedault one and see if it fixes things.
