Check to see where (if at all) mail information is being sent to (I'm referring to warning/error/informational messages, not email) by looking at your /etc/syslog.conf file for mail. Default is for it to go to /var/adm/messages. Grep for sendmail in that file (probably /var/adm/messages). It may give you a clue as to what happened to the email.
Also test that sendmail is configured correctly (could be a DNS issue).
Run /usr/lib/sendmail -d0.1 -bt < /dev/null and check the output for errors. (see this
thread for info)
