[lug] Can't send email to uswest domain

[John Karns]

It's impossible for me to send email to people in the uswest domain.  I
believe it's because I have a psuedo domain and it appears in my headers.  
My return address however, is legitimate and authentic.  I haven't
experienced problems with any other destination.  Has anybody on this list
had the same problem?  This just started happening about 3 weeks ago, and
I swear that I hadn't made any system changes just to precipitate it.  I
tried editting /etc/sendmail.cf and deleted the "DM" designation where the
psuedo domain spec was specified, but to no avail.

If I 1st send to my shell account at csd.net then telnet in and forward
from there, the mail is accepted.

An example of my header:

V2
T976721049
K976721516
N1
P121036
I8/7/106179
