I am trying to send emails from my ubuntu server using sendmail command.

I ran command echo "Subject: Sendmail test" | sendmail -v <My_Id>, which ran without any errors but still I don't receive any emails.

I also checked if the server is able to connect to the google SMTP box telnet gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com 25, which also works fine:

Trying <IP>...
Connected to gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mx.google.com ESMTP m24si25196886pgj.127 - gsmtp

Also, when I checked mail queue using mailq it showed nothing:

MSP Queue status...
/var/spool/mqueue-client is empty
        Total requests: 0
MTA Queue status...
/var/spool/mqueue is empty
        Total requests: 0

I know something is misconfigured for sendmail to work. But as I am new to this command, I need help in figuring this out.
