"send-pr" simply invokes "sendmail". The shipped default configuration
for sendmail usually works well enough for a well-connected host, but
may fail if say, your hostname isn't set properly.  You can run
"mailq" to see if there's anything in the queue; your PR's may still
be on your machine. Check "/var/log/maillog" for the errors. If you're
not running sendmail as a daemon, you'll need to flush the queue
manually, with "sendmail -q", after fixing any errors.
