What parameters do you use on sendmail's command line? -t for taking the addresses of recepients from the headers of the message? And what is the error message? Also, have you tried -v flag to turn sendmail into verbose mode to tell you more (and running it interactively)? I hope some of these suggestions may help. V. S. P. S. If you have an 8BITMIME sendmail (Berkeley 8.7.*), you may try it in that mode and use Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit and put Hebrew in 8-bit. Sendmail itself encode the data if the recepient is not able to protect them from corruption.
