    Welcome to the forums!

    Things will probably go smoother for you if you install sendmail using Synaptic, or you can use apt from the command line to install it if you wish:

    Code:
    sudo apt-get install sendmail
    Note that Sendmail can be found in the Universe repo.

    If you still wish to install it from source, check this HowTo (post #2) for step by step instructions on doing so:
