You may check /var/spool/mqueue to ensure there is not mail in outgoing queue.
Or use mailq to see currently pending mails.

The log is /var/adm/syslog/mail.log. for both successful and unsuccessful

You can also check things like root mail

as root
# elm
mail waiting to be sent
# mailq

If you want to see if it works now...

sendmail -v -d8.99 -d38.99 someone@yahoo.com

type some text

type a dot(period)

.

You'll get nice diagnostics.

Hello!

You can check the /var/adm/syslog/mail.log
You can use the tool mailq that shows the queue.
You can configure your sendmail that will
make an aks about sending mail.
