Apr 29 03:09:02 sd-71796 postfix/master[43779]: fatal: bind 0.0.0.0 port 25: Address already in use

So, looks like we have the port 25 in use!

This solved my issue…
service sendmail stop
service postfix restart
service sendmail start

After doing this the /var/mail/ had the user’s files!

Send a test email

mail -s "Test Subject" [email protected] < /dev/null

To set up an user you need to Configure Additional Email Addresses.

WARNING: local host name (digitalwhores) is not qualified; see cf/README: WHO AM I?

While installing sendmail, I got the following error…

WARNING: local host name (digitalwhores) is not qualified; see cf/README: WHO AM I?

Lets edit /etc/hostname and make it digitalwhores.net.

sudo nano /etc/hostname

Lets run sendmailconfig

sudo sendmailconfig

I saw the solution @ http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/1551/what-is-sendmail-referring-to-here/210999 – tnks to Jadeye for alerting me that I might need to restart the server.
