Is your <usename> a local one? An example of your typing and system
diagnostics will be helpfull.

Then there is a /var/log/maillog file with sendmail (assuming you
didn't install and use other MTA) diagnostic messages. Look there
for more details. If you don't understand them, please post the
relevant part.
