I am getting the following error when I run service sendmail start command:

Starting sendmail: 554 5.0.0 No local mailer defined
554 5.0.0 QueueDirectory (Q) option must be set
[FAILED]

I have sendmail installed. Itried running the command rpm -qa | grep -i sendmail and got the following output:

sendmail-8.13.8-2.el5

I tried the command
m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

and got the follwing error:

/etc/mail/sendmail.mc:10: m4: cannot open `/usr/share/sendmail-cf/m4/cf.m4': No such file
or directory


How to solve this error? I don't have yum installed on my system. So please help with commands that doesn't use yum.

If there's a makefile, try a make all.

No yum... Does that mean no package repositories (any reason for this?) or just no yum (but, say, apt instead)?

My administrator had not installed yum for some security reasons. I have sendmail installed. But it is not starting. How to solve this error?
