how to use sendmail as a client

[Lito Lampitoc]

When sending e-mail to root it says,
to=root, ctladdr=root (0/0), delay=00:00:30, xdelay=00:00:00, 
mailer=relay, pri=30339, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=4.0.0, 
stat=Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1]

Also, as much  as possible, I don't want to run the sendmail daemon as 
it is insecure, all I want to do is use sendmail to send e-mail to my 
admin(root) account in my other box for whatever activities it detected.
