Problem on sendmail between users
Hello,

I am new to sendmail and know very little of it. I appreicate any help.

I tried sending mail between 2 users - alice and bob. I did:

[localhost:/etc] alice% mail bob
Subject: test
test
.
EOT
[localhost:/etc] alice%

Then, I got error log in /var/log/mail.log

May 4 18:23:26 localhost sendmail[606]: My unqualified host name (localhost) unknown; sleeping for retry
May 4 18:24:26 localhost sendmail[606]: unable to qualify my own domain name (localhost) -- using short name
May 4 18:24:27 localhost sendmail[606]: j451OQX5000606: from=alice, size=42, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<200505050124.j451OQX5000606@localhost>, relay=alice@localhost
May 4 18:24:27 localhost sendmail[606]: j451OQX5000606: to=bob, ctladdr=alice (502/20), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=30037, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1]

I am working on Mac 10.2.8, using sendmail 8.12.9
I think I am probably missing proper configuration. Please advise.

Thanks in advance.

mailstats

MAILSTATS(8)						      System Manager's Manual						      MAILSTATS(8)

NAME

       mailstats - display mail statistics

SYNOPSIS

       mailstats [-c] [-o] [-p] [-P] [-C cffile] [-f stfile]

DESCRIPTION

       The mailstats utility displays the current mail statistics.

       First,  the  time  at which statistics started being kept is displayed, in the format specified by ctime(3).  Then, the statistics for each
       mailer are displayed on a single line, each with the following white space separated fields:

	      M 	  The mailer number.
	      msgsfr	  Number of messages from the mailer.
	      bytes_from  Kbytes from the mailer.
	      msgsto	  Number of messages to the mailer.
	      bytes_to	  Kbytes to the mailer.
	      msgsrej	  Number of messages rejected.
	      msgsdis	  Number of messages discarded.
	      msgsqur	  Number of messages quarantined.
	      Mailer	  The name of the mailer.

       After this display, a line totaling the values for all of the mailers is displayed (preceded with a ``T''),  separated  from  the  previous
       information by a line containing only equals (``='') characters.  Another line preceded with a ``C'' lists the number of TCP connections.

       The options are as follows:

       -C     Read the specified file instead of the default sendmail configuration file.

       -c     Try to use submit.cf instead of the default sendmail configuration file.

       -f     Read the specified statistics file instead of the statistics file specified in the sendmail configuration file.

       -P     Output information in program-readable mode without clearing statistics.

       -p     Output information in program-readable mode and clear statistics.

       -o     Don't display the name of the mailer in the output.

       The mailstats utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

FILES

       /etc/mail/sendmail.cf	The default sendmail configuration file.
       /var/lib/sendmail/statistics
				The default sendmail statistics file.
       /etc/mail/statistics	The symbolic link to the statistics file.
