Looks like you have a different username in your From line than your actual
login username. Sendmail balks at that unless you're listed on the
TrustedUser line in sendmail.cf. I think you can also run sendmail with a -f
switch to get around that restriction. In either case, you'll probably have
to have root on the box in question to restart sendmail.
