It's working now. I just commented out some of the FEATURE lines in sendmail.mc file.

I've been doing googling/reading posts and none of the solutions matched my problem. I'm doing some testing, and have been getting this 550 5.1.1 ....User unknown error when I send the email to my company's email address. When I send it to an external email address, such as yahoo, the message delivered successfully. Of course, I'm doing the configuration behind a firewall. I'm using a relay too, and I did declare the relay host in 'SMART_HOST' in the sendmail.mc file and have also recompiled it to produce the sendmail.cf. I also restarted the sendmail service. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- telnet ana.boeing.com 25 Trying 134.51.151.114...
