It seems that you write [EMAIL PROTECTED] in your envelope
sender.  Is that a working address?  Does it help to tell sendmail to
put something else there?

What happens when you talk SMTP directly with the remote mail host and
try various envelope sender values?

Talking SMTP works approximately like this:

telnet remotehost smtp
mail from: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
rcpt to: <some.email.address>
data
From: Skip <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: Some Body <some.email.address>
Subject: foo

Body goes here.
.
quit

Note the single dot which terminates the message.  Once you have found
a "mail from" value that works you can tell your sendmail to use it.

Also note that the "mail from" and "rcpt to" addresses are really
surrounded by angle brackets, whereas the "From:" and "To:" lines
further down are the normal mail headers with the usual mail address
format.
