It seems that I'm having a mail problem when trying to send mail from a
user on one virtual server to a user on a different virtual server.  The
exact error that pops up in the maillog is:


Feb 27 17:15:04 senderdomain sendmail[27401]: RAA27399:
to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, ctladdr=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
(1100/1100), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp,
relay=recipientdomain.com. [xxx.xxx.xx.xxx], stat=Deferred: 451 4.1.8
Domain of sender address [EMAIL PROTECTED] does not resolve

If I do an nslookup from either virtual server to the other, information
is returned almost instantaneously.  I can also do a dig mx domain.com
from either to resolve the mx's for each domain.

In looking at the sendmail.cf files, it looks like the
feature(`accept_unresolvable_domains') was added in the .mc!  I'm very
confused at the moment..  I have no idea how long this issue has been in
effect so don't know of anything that could have been done to make it
happen.

This is using a cd-rom installation of 1.4.10

One thing about our current setup.  The hosting server / virtuals are
inside a firewall.  DNS is outside the firewall so could that be the
issue?  ie: inside the virtual server that is sending mail is
172.16.0.156 while the public address is xxx.xxx.xx.156 and is going
through ipf / ipnat on a bsd firewall.  The recipient server is
172.16.0.165 while public is xxx.xxx.xx.165...  If this is indeed the
problem, what might I do to resolve it?

Upon considering that to be the issue, I added 172.16.0.156
senderdomain.com to the recipientdomain.com's hosts file to no avail...

*at a loss*

HELP!

Thanks
