I already edited /etc/hosts file
You need to tell Sendmail what to do with the email. By default it
looks up the MX record for the relevant domain, obviously with no DNS
that won't work :)
So, what you need to do is configure a "Smart Host" and put that value
in square brackets to tell Sendmail not to do any DNS lookups. Put
the following in your sendmail.mc file (replacing the word
"mailserver" with the name of the server in /etc/hosts), rebuild
sendmail.cf and then restart sendmail:
define(`SMART_HOST', `[mailserver]')
Note that you'll want to copy and paste - the quotes used are
significant. The sendmail documentation details more:
