By default sendmail now comes so you can't relay email through it. 
Attempt to slow down the spammers.  :)

You need to change your system name to match the addressing you are
using for you email account.  Currently your system things you are
trying to send a message through to another system.  

If the message is being delivered locally it will accept the message and
drop it in your mailbox.

You will need to modify the name of your box so it has a fully qualified
domain name (FQDN) and change sendmail so it knows your systems name.
