 * Im a total noob as far as sendmail. I can’t get sendmail to actually send emails
   from wordpress under apache http server.
    If I do a ps -ef | grep mail I can 
   see the following(sorry about the wrap issue):
 * root 2532 1 0 Feb15 ? 00:01:21 sendmail: accepting connections
    smmsp 2540 1 
   0 Feb15 ? 00:00:00 sendmail: Queue runner@01:00:00 for /var/spool/clientmqueue
   root 26654 1 0 19:44 ? 00:00:00 sendmail: ./l36NiDEj026652 b.mx.mail.yahoo.com.:
   user open root 26663 25954 0 19:44 pts/4 00:00:00 grep mail
 * So the email I’m trying to send is a yahoo.com email and I can see the b.mx.mail.
   yahoo.com email in the list but it never goes away and the mail never arrives
   at the yahoo.com account.
 * I’m not sure what I need to do. I dont need any incoming email (yet). Can anyone
   give me some pointers.
 * Thanks.
