[luau] BIG sendmail prob.

[Mike Ballon]

If you used the default sendmail.cf the sendmail process is listening on the
loopback ip of 127.0.0.1, you'll most likely want to change this to 0.0.0.0
which will cause sendmail to listen on all interfaces.

Fix that and see if the other error doesn't go away.
