[lug] Wierd Sendmail vs resolv.conf issue.

By leaving out the namserver entries in /etc/resolv.conf , you will default
all of your name server lookups to localhost (127.0.0.1). So before you do
this, be certain you actually have a nameserver running on your localhost.

What are the failure messages? (Your logs should tell you why sendmail is
bouncing the mail.)

Does an nslookup return the expected MX records for the domains ? (Try
nslookup both on your localhost and to one of your external nameserver
entries).
