==========================================
set sendmail="/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -oi -oem -f mauro.sacchetto@xxxxxxxx"
set sendmail_wait=-1
==========================================
Do u think is it correct?

I use Slackware 11.0. My /etc/resolv.conf is simply this one:
==========================================
search localdomain
nameserver 192.168.0.1
==========================================
where 192.168.0.1 is the address of my router.
