Now that you've installed and configured sendmail, it's
time to start it up and see if it works.
Make sure no existing sendmail processes are running.
Run sendmail in daemon mode with a sensible queue interval,
like this:
/usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -q20m
Use ps to make sure sendmail is running.
Then, test it out by sending some mail and receiving some mail. Check
the syslog to make sure that sendmail isn't issuing any
error messages.
Create or modify your system's rc scripts to properly
invoke sendmail on bootup (using the command you used above).
If everything's working fine, you've successfully installed
sendmail. Congratulations!
