Where do you see this error?  If it's the sendmail logs, is there any
other information relating to the send attempt?

Personally, I don't think it's a good idea for you to be using two new
applications in combination, since it makes it very hard for you to know
which application is causing the problem.  If I were you, I'd replace
Sendmail with Postfix and get it working with that, first.  Then, if you
replace Postfix with Sendmail and have problems, it'll be a
configuration error in Sendmail.
