sendmail is no longer set uid.
So the client queue catches it then delivers to sendmail that
MUST LISTEN ON 25 (even if just localhost).

So if you can't "telnet localhost 25"  (either v4/v6 localhost),
then "sendmail -Ac -v -q" won't deliver.

Start the daemon on localhost:
#  sendmail -bd -ODaemonPortOptions=Addr=127.0.0.1
Run the queue
#  sendmail -Av -v -q
