Re: Send mail not working.
You must replace the current sendmail.cf with a factory default version (available at /usr/newconfig/etc/mail/sendmail.cf). Then, if you need any custom configuration, you must re-implement your customizations.
Another alternative would be to upgrade your sendmail to match the version used to create your current sendmail.cf. The PHNE patch number reveals you're running HP-UX 11.23, so you could use this free upgrade to Sendmail 8.13.3:

If your system is accessible from the Internet, upgrading sendmail is probably safer than downgrading the configuration. Old versions of sendmail are known to be vulnerable to various kinds of attacks.

Re: Send mail not working.
Somehow your sendmail.cf file is out of sync with your sendmail version.
I'd recommend swremove on sendmail, followed by an swinstall of the latest version available from http://software.hp.com
You may after that point need to patch sendmail. Do not install patches not intended for this version of sendmail e.g. read the patch notes.

Re: Send mail not working.
Thanks for the reply and help.
on Docs page I came across this docs. Does this will screw things up in service guard environment by reverting to old version on ident?
==================================
Issue
After installing HP-UX Sendmail 8.13.3 to upgrade to a new Sendmail version, the user decides to revert to the earlier Sendmail or identd version on the system (HP-UX 11.11, HP-UX 11.23).
HP-UX 11.31 already comes with Sendmail 8.13.3, so you cannot revert to an earlier Sendmail version.
Solution
Fortunately, the Sendmail 8.13.3 installation saves the original Sendmail software bits when it is installed, and contains a handy pair of scripts to allow reverting to the 8.11.1 (HP-UX 11.23) or 8.9.3 (HP-UX 11.11) Sendmail and identd bits, and enabling the 8.13.3 bits at will.
To revert to Sendmail 8.11.1 (HP-UX 11.23) or 8.9.3 (HP-UX 11.11), and if already having the Sendmail 8.13.3 upgrade of the system, the customer needs to follow these steps:
1). /usr/contrib/sendmail/convert_sendmail to_old
NOTE: Enabling the older version of Sendmail ......
More information may be found in the logfile:
/var/adm/syslog/mail.log
NOTE: The older version of Sendmail has been restored successfully.
2). /usr/contrib/identd/convert_identd to_old
NOTE: Enabling the older version of Identd ......
More information may be found in the logfile:
/var/adm/syslog/mail.log
NOTE: The older version of Identd has been restored successfully.
3). Review the logfile. It is likely a message similar to this will be seen:
Jan 22 08:32:25 hpdev sendmail[6826]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): Warning: .cf vers ion level (10) exceeds sendmail version 8.11.1 (PHNE_35951) functionality (9) WARNING: Could not restart "sendmail" process.
Please ensure that the configuration file /etc/mail/sendmail.cf) version is compatible with the current sendmail binary and then restart sendmail.
The preceding message is issued because the /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file from the earlier version is not saved or restored, so any Sendmail customizations of this file must be re-done, or restored from a backup.
4). Restart Sendmail:
/sbin/init.d/sendmail start
Verify that the system has the expected
5). Sendmail version by inspecting the first line of output from this command:
# sendmail -bs < /dev/null
220 rx7620a.atl.hp.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.11.1 (PHNE_35951)/8.11.1; Thu, 22 Jan 2009 09:20:26 -0500 (EST)
