Neat!  Your local Sendmail submission service works then.  You should be
able to see the message in the `clientmqueue' with:

    mailq -Ac

Now, can you show us how your local rc system starts Sendmail, and the
active Sendmail processes you are using?  It may be working fine, but
only queueing messages in `/var/spool/clientmqueue'.  A queue runner
should also be started to periodically scan and handle the clientmqueue
messages.
