Yeah, have already tried that.. it has a  and PTR RR's, but no MX entry... 
here are the relevent lines from my sendmail configs;

/etc/mail/mailertable
inetdigital.net esmtp:[mail.inetdigital.net]

/etc/mail/access
inetdigital.net RELAY

Of course I've rebuilt both... it's the same setup as the other domains 
which it IS working for (using the same server)... for example;

/etc/mail/mailertable
unixforever.net                         esmtp:[mail.inetdigital.net]

/etc/mail/access
unixforever.net RELAY

And what I end up with in the logs from each:

unixforever.net:

Jul 10 00:04:11 challenger sendmail[18201]: h6A73bne018169: 
to=<trevor at unixforev
er.net>, delay=00:00:33, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp, pri=30369, 
relay=mail.in
etdigital.net. [209.63.25.67], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (ok 1057820651 qp 18203)

inetdigital.net:

Jul  9 16:16:17 challenger sendmail[76521]: h69NGGMm076513: 
to=<trevor at inetdigit
al.net>, delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=local, pri=30752, relay=local,
dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent

I'm so not a sendmail wizard (been a bit spoiled with qmail, however it's 
back to sendmail for some stuff thanks to milter), so I'm a little lost on 
this. It's seeming to think that because it's fqdn is 
challenger.inetdigital.net that anything in inetdigital.net must be a local 
mailer. /etc/mail/local-host-names only has challenger.inetdigital.net, and 
the only Cw is localhost.

Yes, it's a beautiful way of doing it and works great for me on all of the 
other domains although the boss wants it on our main mail domain too now 
and I'm really starting to hate sendmail :)
