This may be the time to change from Sendmail to Postfix. I find
Postfix much simpler to configure. I have it set up here that mail
for *.infinity-ltd.com and infinity-ltd.com is delivered locally on
this machine. Mail for other domains is relayed through
mail.infinity-ltd.com (The mail server at my web hosting service.)
Before I convinced my ISP to allow outgoing port 25 contact to that
mail server, I had it configured to relay through the ISP's mail
server. With the exception of the auth configuration for using the
relay server, it took less the 5 minutes to configure. (If I was
willing to use plain-text passwords with the mail servers, it would
have been a snap.)
