You need to have your domain listed in the sendmail.cw, mine looks like:
"nexnix.co.uk" and then restart sendmail with
"killall sendmail;/usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -q15m"
Then you need to be able to do a reverse lookup against any host in
that domain which will use the mail server. If the box cannot resolve
an IP address to a name, how will it know that the request is from
an acceptable domain?
