Sounds like you have all this sorted out, then.

If you've only got one entry in your mailertable file, you might like to
replace it with a SMART_HOST definition in your sendmail.mc file instead
(fixed a problem I was having):

  define(`SMART_HOST',`smtp:[exchange.internal.domain.com]')dnl

Another silly question: I assume you have your access file configured
correctly? Namely:

  localhost          OK
  127.0.0.1          OK
  # Domains we handle.
  sub.domain.com     RELAY
  # Domains we do not handle.
  domain.com         REJECT

I'd doubt if that was the case, but I'm hardly an expert. :)

HTH,
