Please post what Operating System and version you have and what Shell you use.

Please post the mailx command line you typed (obliterating anything confidential with X's) .

What do you get for nslookup on the name of the mailserver you put into the DS line in sendmail.cf ?
How exactly did you restart sendmail?

What (non-comment) entries are there in /etc/mail/service.switch ?
What (non-comment) entries are there in /etc/mail/sendmail.cw ? Should be "localhost" and the name of the sending server .
