Mandrake Linux uses Postfix rather than Sendmail.
When I try to telnet localhost smtp - it does not show any response from SMTP.
Look at /etc/syslog.conf
Find out which directory are the log files stored. In my case it was /var/log
Look at the errors in /var/log/mail/errors
Mar 6 08:29:37 linux3 postfix/smtpd[19852]: fatal: open database /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases.db: No such file or directory
. You specified two hash files in your postfix configuration and one of them doesn't exist. Try removing the /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases.db from main.cf and see if you can get basic mail delivery working first. Only after you are satisfied with how postfix is functioning, add in the mailman stuff.
After removing the mailman aliases.db, it still did not start.
The problem was that SASL parameters were turned on but SASL libraries were not installed.
Removed SASL parameters by going back to the initial version of the config files.
