Sounds like it's a host problem that may require them to fix it. Stick a 
phpinfo() file up on the host and ensure that there is a sendmail path for 
the script to access.

Should be something like this returned:
sendmail_path	/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i

Here's a page for sendmail error checking:

HTH!
