That strikes me as unlikely to be a sendmail error per se, at least
if you are using a packaged sendmail.  More likely your environment 
is not what you think it is.  The easy way out **might** be to 
install as part of your IC installation the perl SMTP module.  
Isn't that in the config files and just commented out (so shoot me if 
I'm wrong about it being there.)  YMMV; this depends on your level
of experience and comfort.

If you have root access, you could also replace the sendmail binary
with something like

#!/bin/sh

set > /tmp/foo

To see what is going on.
