Fixed it myself.
Thanks to the person who told me it was a configuration problem - I went and
edited the sendmail.cf file, and behold, the problem was that it had 'local'
where it should have had 'ps.uiuc.edu'. So I killed sendmail, refroze the
config file, and restarted it - it works fine now! Sorry to take the bandwidth.
