You could check sendmail with the following:
/usr/lib/sendmail -bt -d0.1 < /dev/null

Check that DNS is working (sendmail uses DNS normally)

Check if you are logging mail commands (look at your /etc/syslog.conf file to see where they may be going). Check the file to see what errors you are getting (/var/adm/messages or possibly /var/*/sendmail).

Post any error you may get by testing mailx command from command line.

/usr/lib/sendmail -bt -d0.1 < /dev/null

/usr/lib/sendmail -v neverfindit@hotmail.com
