I tried /usr/bin/sendmail didn't work, will try /usr/sbin/sendmail.
Ubuntu comes with postfix. Most probably you have already installed it. It also installs a binary, /usr/sbin/sendmail as a Postfix to Sendmail compatibility interface.
No, I am not running an SMTP server. In fact, sendmail was not even installed by default. I had to install and then try but no luck!

Also, how do I get an SMTP server working for this purpose?
Maybe postfix is already installed. You dont have to install sendmail, just pop in that ubuntu setup CD and install postfix otherwise.
