I fixed the ns_sendmail proc, by replacing the smtp parameter with my mail server.  It is now working fine.  Thank you for your help.

Ah, you "fixed" it? More like, you broke it. Note that the ns_sendmail code specifically does this:
set smtp [ns_config ns/parameters mailhost]
That gets the SMTP server from your AOLserver config file. If you have no such entry in your config file, ns_sendmail defaults to using localhost. So all you had to do was add the proper mailhost line into your config file.

Hey buddy, I fixed and it works fine, ok.  I did not break anything.  The mail is able to go out to its proper recipients and I am not getting any sendmail error any more.  And by the way, setting smtp with my mailhost/server name is what I did to fix.  So thank you for your comments.
