Sonny, Maybe you dunno about Debian. So lemme tell you !! Debian Configures a 
packages as soon as it is installed. And there is no stock sendmail.cf available.
So, sendmailconfig has to be run after install , otherwise sendmail won't work
as a mail server ;-)

Bacha Gaya Already, I have switched over to Exim.
Pretty easy to configure and use !
But, I have to find out what was the prob, so I will be experimenting on
postfix and sendmail now on other machines ;-)
