Yes but even with sendmail running, sometimes the mail
does not go through. Occasionally I have better luck
when I change the hostname to a fully qualified.
That is instead of host or host@localdomain
I make it host@xxxxxxxxxxx but not always.

If you mean there's no mail command, that's one thing. If you mean mail
isn't delivered, the "sendmail" server is outgoing, the "dovecot"
service is incoming.
And if you mean something else, please restate the question.
