Check your Sendmail.conf for misconfiguration.

Do you have a router / gateway or are hosts with IPs 10.0.0.10 and
10.0.0.12 connected directly to the net? Anyway, compare the 2 systems
and where the IPs appear make sure they fit the situation which host is
up and running. I don't think I can be helpful any further. What's
needed is reading the configuration files and thinking about the setup.

All in all this setup scenario sounds dubious to me.
