Sendmail is a bit of a pig to configure - you may want to have a look at something like postfix instead.

Try

echo "" | sendmail -v Test user

That gives you some indication of what goes wrong.
After sending try 'mailq' to see the status of the mail in the queue.

Not sure if this will help but make sure your server name and/or ip address is in the following files:

Location is the file location on my server so yours may be different:

/etc/mail/access - make sure your mail server ip is allowed to relay (if you change this file make sure you run the following command - &quot;makemap hash /etc/mail/access.db < /etc/mail/access&quot; without the quotes of course

Example is: 199.99.99.5 RELAY

/etc/sendmail.cf - # &quot;Smart&quot; relay host (may be null) section
DSyourservername.com

Example is: DSsmtp.earthlink.net

After making changes restart sendmail
