First, can you please send text messages. HTML is not appropriate.
You should use fetchmail (from the ports) to collect mail from
mail.force9.net and post it locally.
For outgoing mail, the stock sendmail configuration file should
probably work (with a Cwmyname.force9.co.uk if that's not your host
name).
You shouldn't see the errors you mention unless you're trying to run
sendmail as a daemon a second time (-bd). Perhaps you're using -bd
instead of -q ?
