I have been trying to test sendmail and I am not having too much
success.  Namely because I do not know what I am doing, but I am trying
to learn.  So thank you all for bearing with me and answering my
questions.

I was trying to run commands such as:
peanut# /usr/lib/sendmail -Ctest.cf -t -v
To: craigh at ora.com
From: craig
Subject: Sendmail Test
Ignore this test.   


I wasn't able to get anywhere.  I did find this in my log, does this
mean anything?  I did do some searches and seen that this is a security
measure and might be able to ignore it????

I was also trying to find a way to just be able to send an email from
the linux box to somewhere to see if sendmail is working (is that the
best way to test it?) I also tried using the test link that you gave but
the page wasn't found.  I tried a search on testing email at the wiki
site and found only post testing.
