Can you connect to sendmail from localhost via telnet:

% telnet localhost 25

(Type "quit" without the quotes to exit if it works)

If not, then that is probably the main problem.  Actually cause is
likely not authorizing sendmail in your /etc/hosts.allow file, or
something similar.

But does telnet to localhost instead of 10.0.0.3 work?
