sendmail problem

I am trying to use formmail cgi script on my mac server, but the data is never delivered to the email address I specified. I checked the system log and it said the following:
(root) MAIL (mailed 91 bytes of output but got status 0x0047 )
Does anyone know what this means? Do I need to configure the sendmail app?

Thank you.

Can you send mail normally through sendmail, for example if Mail.app uses localhost as its smtp server?
 
there are entire books on sendmail, and it's one of the most exploited program's in Unix's history. Improperly configuring it can be an ENORMOUS headache for an administrator (especially dealing with the voluminous e-mails of those who get spammed if you accidentally leave an open gateway up).

sendmail.org... look around... there are TONS of pages about how to configure it.
 
found this somewhere. Have not tried it. Maybe it helps

#####Get Sendmail working!!! do these things:#####

/System/Library/StartupItems/Sendmail/Sendmail
