Personally, I don't think sendmail has _ever_ been functional, but that's just the grumpy side of me that has to configure it on clunky old boxes still! :) It's likely working, but has a local delivery setup configured. Try using `mailq` to see if anything is sitting in the outbound queue. You may also want to look in /var/spool/mail for mbox files sitting there with the messages (or bounces) sent from sup. If you want to get your hands dirty, I recommend exim as the replacment for sendmail. I like it's configuration and acl setup better than postfix, but that would also work. If you just want to send mail quickly and easily, try msmtp or a similar package.
