    You are right. This does solve the problem to let mail use sendmail.
 My other problem is caused by using sendmail.named instead of sendmail.nonamed
 since I am not running name server.  Another fix need on my sendmail.cf.  
 The address rules will rewrite 'host' to 'host.domain' and I didn't specify
 a domain name, so the host name become 'host.' and this is not found in the
 /etc/hosts (because of the extrat dot).  After I set up a domain name it 
 works fine.

 Thanks for the help
