What does the /var/log/maillog say when trying to send a mail locally?
Does the sendmail daemon run (2 processes!)? Please provide us with
error messages or don't you get any feedback when sending a mail? How do
you send? If you send a test mail locally by running something like
"date | mail -s "test mail" recipient@localhost", is that accepted
without any complaint?
