That says it is queued - i.e. accepted by sendmail for delivery.  There 
should be another entry for the delivery step - do you have a sendmail 
daemon running?  On a RedHat-like system this would be 'service sendmail

restart'.  Also, most servers won't accept a sender with an unresolvable

domain so if this needs to go somewhere else you may need to fake one. 
Do you have any smtp email infrastructure at all?
