Sendmail problem


Hey All,

I have a little issue that I cannot get sendmail to work properly.

everytime I start it up I get these errors :
Starting sendmail: [ OK ]
Starting sm-client: No local mailer defined
QueueDirectory (Q) option must be set [FAILED]

I have set up the QueueDirectory in both the cf and mc files and recompile the cf file from the mc file.
and I cannot for the life of me figure out what it is talking about No local mailer defined.

I can telneto to port 25 on the server. but I cannot send any mails as everytime I try using the sendmail -V command I get - No local mailer defined.

Has anyone come across this and found a solution. I have trawled all over the net and come up with nothing except a huge headache.

I am running Redhat 9, Kernel 2.6.8.1, and sendmail 8.12 (from RPM).

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

Jason
