I appreciate the offer, but honestly there are so many details of our
network configuration and Exchange server setup that I'd rather not go
into.

But to answer your question, the bounce is a 550 5.7.1 error:

Your message

  To:      Joe User
  Subject: Blah blah blah
  Sent:    Tue, 21 Sep 2004 15:47:35 -0400

did not reach the following recipient(s):

Joe User on Tue, 21 Sep 2004 15:47:36 -0400
    You do not have permission to send to this recipient.  For
assistance, contact your system administrator.
    < my.sendmail.server #5.7.1 SMTP; 550 5.7.1 Requested action not
taken: message refused>

The mails are coming from Bugzilla, and sometimes they make it to the
recipients, and sometimes they don't. 

I'm not the Exchange admin, and he's tried enabling all sorts of relay
permissions for my sendmail box, and that hasn't gotten us anywhere. 

I'm still curious how to force sendmail to use HELO.

Thanks,

Scott
