I asked that to see whether sendmail successfully sent those emails; you
had already said sendmail is running, I believe you ;).

This seems suspicious.  I see sendmail is trying to use gmail smtp,
probably that is why it fails?  Part of the log is cutoff, I guess the
lines were too long for your screen.

This is a typical line for me:

Jan 03 04:35:36 localhost sendmail[23178]: s033ZZrq023178: from=<root at localhost>, size=1535, class=-60, nrcpts=1, msgid=<201401030333.s033XSKY023169 at localhost>, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=localhost [127.0.0.1]
Jan 03 04:35:36 localhost sendmail[23179]: s033ZZrq023178: to=jallad, ctladdr=<root at localhost> (0/0), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=local, pri=139780, dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent

Hope this helps,
