That's what I thought.  Other external mail is coming in directly from
the 'Net without a stop on relay-1/2 at Demon, so the MX records are working
correctly from outside.

Indeed, it is /etc/sendmail.cf and it using the right one because I keep
toggling it to try and get this working, otherwise all their outgoing
mail would be frozen.

Do old versions of sendmail (this is 8.9.3) have different ways of doing
these things ?
