SORRY! WRONG FORUM! SOMEONE PLEASE MOVE THIS TO THE CORRECT ONE!

I'm a complete noob idiot when it comes to sending/receiving mail on my machine, so I was happy to find this thread: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=23703

Unfortunately, it didn't all go well. I started out emerging everything. No problems there. Next step: I alter the /etc/mail/sendmail.mc and there I go:
Code:
$ m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
$ /etc/init.d/sendmail start
* Starting sendmail...                                       [ !! ]



Crap... First of all: which log to look in? Secondly: here's my sendmail.mc file
Code:
divert(-1)

Now, is there anyone who can explain to me what I'm doing wrong or what I have forgotten? Also, after emerging sendmail, it already wouldn't even start (same "(!!)" 'message'). So I doubt it's my config. :cry:
