I really think you should give Postfix a try Azeem.  I have been
administering and using Linux systems for years now and the thought of
playing with Sendmail still scares me.  Maybe I didn't give it enough
of a chance.

It's really easy to get your head aroung Postfix configuration.  To
switch over to Postfix on FC4, make sure you have the appropriate
packages installed and then run system-switchmail and choose postfix.

Plenty of good documentation available via the man-pages as well as here:
http://www.postfix.org/documentation.html

Of course, from reading your post I'm not exactly what the problem is,
so perhaps sticking with sendmail is fine.
