Figured it out [was Outgoing Mail Queue]

[Curtis Maurand]

Alright, here's the scoop for fedora core 1.

1.  Since sendmail runs as root:smmsp, MailScanner must run as root:smmsp
       directory permissions must be set accordingly.  If MailScanner
does not run as root,
       it cannot read any of the files in the incoming mail queue.
2.   The startup script as its written automatically runs the sm-client
to process
       on the outgoing mailqueue as specified in submit.cf.  If
submit.cf is used, local
       email is not delivered.  The startup script that comes with the
rpm is useless.
       Mail willl simply build up in the Outoing Queue Dir.

To that end, I used the commands that go with the tarball installation
and all works fine and I changed the "run as user =" and "run as group
=" lines.

Lines will wrap.

/usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -OPrivacyOptions=noetrn -ODeliveryMode=queueonly
-OQueueDirectory=/var/spool/mqueue.in

/usr/sbin/sendmail -q5m -OQueueDirectory=/var/spool/mqueue.out -c
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf

/usr/sbin/check_mailscanner

Now everything is working.
