I checked the logs provided by you.
It seems to me you didn't configured your sendmail proeprly.
Do the following steps.

you need to edit the /etc/mail/sendmail.mc file. There you need to search line "dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')"
and then delete dnl. Now this line should be DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')
Save it and exit. Then you need to run below given command.

# m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
Then restart your sendmail service.

# service sendmail restart

or

# /etc/init.d/sendmail restart

Now you will able to send the mail from your system.



Thanks
