OK lets fix this up a little. It seems that sendmail has no access to
/etc/mail/access file.
When I type the changes in the following cases; from REJECT to RELAY. And
creating the access.db file. And restarting sendmail.
I still can send e-mail to myself. Any comments! Thanks
CASE 1
# Check the /usr/share/doc/sendmail-8.11.6/README.cf file for a description
# of the format of this file. (search for access_db in that file)
# The /usr/share/doc/sendmail-8.11.6/README.cf is part of the sendmail-doc
# package.
#
# by default we allow relaying from localhost...
localhost.localdomain REJECT
localhost REJECT
127.0.0.1 REJECT
CASE 2
# Check the /usr/share/doc/sendmail-8.11.6/README.cf file for a description
# of the format of this file. (search for access_db in that file)
# The /usr/share/doc/sendmail-8.11.6/README.cf is part of the sendmail-doc

localhost.localdomain RELAY
localhost RELAY
127.0.0.1 RELAY
