First make sure you have commented out
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl

in your sendmail.mc

Also make sure you have the domain name listed in your  etc/mail/access.

if its in there. Then determine where you are.

If you are outside of the network where the mail server is based. You
have to allow relaying for the ip address of the computer that you are
sending email from.  If you don't want to that. You can use smtp auth.
