What's the host name of the machine? If your host name contains the domain,
maybe that is the problem. That's just a guess, though. I would say telnet
into your raq and check the mail log (/var/log/maillog) and see what
sendmail is doing. Also, try using nslookup on the raq itself to see if you
can lookup the appropriate MX record. If you are using an outside DNS
server, and not the raq's dns server, be sure that the dns service is turned
off and that your raq is using your actual DNS server and not its own
internal DNS server. If you are using the raq for DNS, try restarting the
DNS services.
