Make sure that the SMTP relay server itself knows about you and can do a reverse DNS lookup on your IP address.

The SMTP relay name would normally be a fully qualified host name such that the line reads something like:
And the entry (or alias) in /etc/hosts should be the fully qualified host name.
Quote:
there are many server names which are non-commented in /etc/mail/sendmail.cw
I'd only expect localhost and the fully qualified name of the local server unless you are the mail relay server yourself. If the SMTP mail relay server is in the list, that might explain it.
What else? Make sure that nobody has deleted the localhost entry in /etc/hosts and check the system mail log for error messages.
Quick check of the SMTP relay server with telnet to port 25 to make sure that it is listening.
