  You must have sendmail running on your RH9 box for it to work.  Try
  "service sendmail start" to start it.  Don't worry, the default
  configuration will not accept mail from the outside--only from itself.

  Use "chkconfig --level 2345 sendmail on" to set it so it starts
  automatically on boot.
