Are you sure sendmail is not installed on the system,?? try
'whereis sendmail' or 'locate sendmail' locate will show ALL sendmail files
and not just the binary.
Normally speaking if the binary is installed and you have the default
/etc/sendmail.conf installed then really all you need to do is simply start
sendmail with;
'sendmail -bd -q 15m'
If there are errors then place the errors in a mail to the list if you
cannot solve them yourself.
AFAIK sendmail is included in all linux distro's, check your source medium
if you dont have sendmail installed.
