Is this mail bouncing?  What exactly is the problem?  By default on recent
Redhat releases (RH8 included), sendmail only listens on localhost, and
you must manually change this for it to listen externally.  This was asked
perhaps a week ago on this very list, so check the list archives for the
solution (URL at the bottom of this email).
