yes I can send mail back and forth to users on the same machine.
here are my config files as the stand right now.  If this will help in
straightening this mess out.

Also make sure that you have the exactly correct hostname in your system
and sendmail configs. It sounds like your mail is being sent correctly
which is why no error is happening but your receiver blocks mail that
doesn't match the host it says it comes from (this often happens if the
machine uses an internal name for itself). Sendmail is sort of a pain. Can
you send mail between users on the same machine?
