This definitely sounds like the situation.  However, I changed this  and
I am still getting the same problem.  I restarted the sendmail daemon,
although I don't think that this should make a difference as the problem
is not in receiving mail.

My sendmail.cf file exists in /etc/mail.  How should I start sendmail so 
that it reads the configuration file correctly?

Thanks,
-anthony.
