Yep, there's your problem right there. Most likely you set up your mail
server BEFORE August 2006, when pluto was still considered a planet.
The new standards mandate that pluto is now considered "dwarf planet",
which everyone knows can't relay or send mail in any other fashion.
Please get the latest sendmail package and recompile from source with
the directive PLANET_MASQUERADE set to "Neptune". This should resolve
your issue.
