I've got two installations of F9 running, one x86_64 and the other i386. They both fail to send email initially but if I restart sendmail they send fine after that. I'm using thunderbird and have it configured to use the local sendmail for sending. The only thing I've modified in my sendmail.mc file is the masquerading. Any ideas where to start looking?

Thanks,

is sendmail set to start on boot?
Yes.  That's why I included the log that shows the start of sendmail.

chkconfig --list sendmail # to review which runlevels it starts on
chkconfig sendmail on # to have it start on boot
The log above shows it is running but;

[root@knute knute]# /sbin/chkconfig --list | grep sendmail
sendmail       	0:off	1:off	2:on	3:on	4:on	5:on	6:off

it does appear that you've got a DNS issue too...'sender address of
www.knutejohnson.com does not resolve' is a problem as I see it.
When the computer first starts. After I restart sendmail it doesn't have a problem any more. This mail was sent from one of the computers with the problem.

I would think that sendmail starts after named starts but perhaps not.

Try setting a manual entry for www.knutejohnson.com in /etc/hosts

That didn't fix it. The mail got queued though which is another problem that occurs sometimes along with this. As soon as I restart sendmail these queued mails are sent immediately.
