Hmmm... Is there any more information in /var/log/maillog?

What's the result of running:

    /usr/sbin/sendmail -q -v 

-- or at least the beginning of the SMTP dialog up to attempting to
send the first message.

I note you're using 'none.org' as a domain name -- that used to be a
registered domain for a corporation in Korea (it's on 'client hold
pending delete' at the moment).  Seems to have disappeared from the
DNS though.  You'll find that sendmail works a lot better if you use
correctly registered domain names -- although it should cope without.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
