Check your hostname, by default if you use DHCP on a RedHat install it dumps localhost.localdomain as the hostname and thats why its failing.
The other thing is the sending of email outside of your own localhost. By default on local mail is allowed on a redhat install so look for the line in sendmail.mc that reads:- DAEMON_OPTIONS(`port=smtp,Addr=::1, Name=MTA-v6, Family=inet6') and either edit it or comment it out and regenerate sendmail.cf by the commands as listed on the top of the sendmail.mc file. Sendmail cannot recognize the hostname sometimes as well and so you could add this in your sendmail.cf; look for:- # my official domain name # ... define this only if sendmail cannot automatically determine your domain #Dj$w.Foo.COM Dj<hostname> And finally restart sendmail after all the changes necessary..
