Cannot receive local/system mail using Slackware 11


I have installed sendmail in Slackware 11 and got it configured fine so I think I do. I enabled smarthost and can send mail through the internet via my ISP smart host.

Problem is I cannot receive any system mail or send mail locally to another user. I need both to be enabled and have searched and could not find a solution. It seems to be a sendmail config issue because if I use mailq I have over 20 emails in que and they seem to be stuck.
I don't have a any mx records and have port 25 blocked (incoming) in my firewall because I only wish to send mail out(for software raid status) not receive any.

My question would be how do I setup sendmail to work both with smarthost and internal mail.

Thanks.
