Sendmail Question; unable to send mail as normal user

[Derek Ragona]

Make sure you have the following files in /etc/mail setup:
local-host-names
domaintable
mailertable

These last two need a database file too which is make by:
/usr/sbin/makemap hash domaintable < domaintable
/usr/sbin/makemap hash mailertable < mailertable
