SUMMARY: Mailer 1.3

The question was kind of long so I'll give you the answer and let you read
the question at the bottom if you like. 

Answer: 

installed Solaris7_Recommended Cluster patch.  It contained bugfixes
for both sendmail and dtmail.  I then made sure my /etc/mail/sendmail.cf,
and my FQDN was listed in /etc/hosts.

Original Question:
