Do you mean sendmail stops working once the last user has logged of from the server?

Try to configure sendmail step by step through a guide like this one: sendmail: Introduction and Configuration

LDAP is the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. It can be used to find specific information about a particular user from a much larger group. An LDAP server can look up a particular email address from a business directory by a user's last name. LDAP stores the user information and Sendmail uses the result of LDAP queries in pre-addressed email messages.

I think LDAP is only usefull if there are a lot of users in your organisation.
