since "mail.ourdomain.com" doesn't have a DNS / MX entry, you might want to
try putting the following in your mailertable database (and remember to
either makemap hash mailtertable < mailterable or restart sendmail,
whichever you prefer)

ourdomain.com   esmtp:[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]

(were xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of your mail.ourdomain.com machine)

I have a similar setup here at the office where I've got a linux machine
running sendmail + MD + sa on the DMZ and it accepts and routes mail to our
exchange server which is only on the LAN, with no DNS entries.

hope this helps
