Sorry that was a typo, I _do_ have priorities assigned (
and yes, I do know that a lower number means higher priority).
Its like this:
@ IN MX 5 sendmail.otherdomain.com.
IN MX 10 qmail.otherdomain.com.
I should also mention that I re-installed sendmail on
the qmail host and secondarying works! IN sendmail,
I made sure that the domains were not in $=w (sendmail.cw)
and put them in relay-domains only, and everything
works nicely. I'm sure my problem is a minor configuration
error with qmail.
