I dont know how to configure sendmail8, and I need to setup an email form in PHP, and PHP seems to use sendmail to email? Why wont it work, do I need to configure sendmail8?

Thanks so much.

Did you check your mail log? What is the entry recorded in there that we can look at?

The mail log showed the destination email addr, and also said something like mail accepted and sent? But the mail never got to the destination, and after a few hours I got a Linux mail message stating that sendmail failed to send the message for 4 hours.

I would like to help you with this, but need more exact information. Can we see the exact mail log entry? Also the mail message that was sent to you by the system.

Looks like it may be querying your server for DNS resolution but is there DNS service running on your server? If not you would need to designate a server for DNS queries in the config.
