at the risk of starting a flamewar, you might consider using postfix instead of sendmail. it is available pre-packaged with redhat 8 and 9 (whch i presume you are using based on your post) and is generally easier to setup. setting up a basic postfix server requires only a handful of changes to the stock config file and a 'service postfix restart' to be up and running. most folks who run sendmail do so because they've used it for years and are accustomed to it - since this is not the case for you postfix is probably easier to wrap your head around.
