This is what I do, though to be honest it's mostly local to the machine 
running sendmail but I don't see that sending mail from my Linux box 
would be any different it should end up in the Sendmail on this OS/2 box 
and end up queued awaiting a net connection and the issue of "sendmail 
-q".

Have you a local DNS? My OS/2 box doesn't have access to a local DNS and 
thus only uses the HOSTS file.

Sendmail config does seem to be a bit of a black art with knobs on. My 
configs are based on ones provided with mail stuff in various forms from 
people on my ISP. I also use IBM Sendmail v2.02 on Warp 3. (Yes I know 
it's ancient but if it ain't broke don't fix it.)

I could attach my config in private e-mail if you so desire?

Cheers
