OK. These logs look OK to this point

recipient: e48b0=s-geo@usa.net:
mailer 6 (external), host `smtp.roadrunner.com', user `s-geo@usa.net',
ruser `'
next=0, flags=10, alias 0, uid 0, gid 0
owner=(none), home="(none)", fullname="(none)"

This says sendmail is going to use use an external mailer to deliver the
message.

The next step is to figure out why sendmail can't talk to roadrunner.

Look in %ETC and find the logs that sendmail has strewn about without
telling you.

Try the sendmail again changing the -d to -d -d1-99.40. This will get you
more logging. Also, you will have a better idea of what's going on if you
use tee to capture the logs. This avoid having to work blind. What I
suggest is something like

sendmail args... | tee logfile

There are lots of implementations of tee. I run 4os2, so it has one built
in.

I've attached my script and the associated output for a run. You've
probably got mail claiming to be from you in your listsns mailbox.
