Problems with sending mail in MH-6.8

I compiled MH-6.8 on a Sun4 with SunOS 4.1.2.  Now the problem is I
don't seem to be able to send any mail.

My sysadmin want't the sending of mail done by forking
/usr/lib/sendmail and piping the message to it.  I have tried to
achieve that with the config files attached to the end of this
message.

When whatnow prompts me and I respond "send -verbose -watch", it
return to the shell immediately without printing anything.  I have
tried to watch the syslog which sendmail writes when it sends mails,
but there is nothing that indicates sendmail ever received my mail.

Is there some way for me to find out what is going on?  Has send ever
run sendmail or not?  If not, why didn't I get an error message?
Receiving mails works fine and was really missing the MIME-support
before version 6.8.  Thank you for that.
