The best way to invoke the shell for interactive use is:

        :XEQ SH.HPBIN.SYS -L

You don't list what you typed that caused all of these errors.

You minimally need to :HELLO MANAGER.SYS and then:

        :XEQ LN.HPBIN.SYS "-s /SYS/NET/SERVICES /etc/services"

You're being very brave by moving SENDMAIL.PUB.SENDMAIL to SENDMAIL.UTIL.SYS.

Sendmail/iX is designed to live in the SENDMAIL account and be installed
exactly as documented at:

        http://www.cccd.edu/~markb/sendmailix.html

It would be prudent to first make it work exactly the way I recommend, and
only then try your UTIL.SYS configuration.  But I make no promises that you'll
be successful in any configuration other than the full SENDMAIL account.
