Odd email problem

Okay, I don't want this to be a sendmail vs. "another email server" 
debate. But.. I have a problem, and it's with sendmail.

I was messing with a webhosting package and it required postfix. Well, I 
-though- I was on my dev box when I did yum remove sendmail, but I 
wasn't (woops!)

I removed postfix and re-installed sendmail and I thought I had 
everything squared away, but one of my users (my brother) is getting this:

 From maillog:

Dec  1 11:28:07 scootz sendmail[10348]: jB1GS7VV010348: 
ruleset=check_rcpt, arg1=<tina.roy at s******.com>, 
relay=c-65-96-41-67.hsd1.ma.comcast.net [65.96.41.67], reject=550 5.7.1 
<tina.roy@*******.com>... Relaying denied. Proper authentication required.
Dec  1 11:28:10 scootz sendmail[10348]: jB1GS7VV010348: 
from=<ajroy@******.com>, size=0, class=0, nrcpts=0, proto=ESMTP, 
daemon=MTA, relay=c-65-96-41-67.hsd1.ma.comcast.net [65.96.41.67]

He gets this in his email:

The following recipient(s) could not be reached:

             550 5.7.1 <dlongshore@*******.com>... Relaying
denied. Proper authentication required.

He can send stuff to me without a problem, it's just if it's on a domain 
outside what I host he gets the above.

Below is my sendmail.mc file. He is using outlook, I'm using 
thunderbird, I do not have an issue. (he's very VERY attached to his 
outlook, I don't need a client debate either).
