Pine: 421 SMTP failure...

Hi!

I have installed the Pine mail/news agent and sendmail so that I can 
have email in the
console. I can download email with fetchmail and read it with Pine but 
sending email
I get the error message SMTP greeting failure: 421 SMTP connection went 
away!

I have arranged for sendmail to start using /etc/init.d/sendmail but 
ofcourse this is
probably not good enough! I have used the /etc/sendmail.cf from my 
functional SuSE
installation but I suppose this is hardly likely to be OK.

I would appreciate any pointers to whatever must be done to get 
Pine/sendmail to work.

My thanks in advance!
