Thanks MadeinGermany,
I have fixed it by editing sendmail.mc and making a new sendmail.cf : Just add the DS line as you want it to appear in sendmail.cf
I didn't set this up (I'm fairly new here) and since the Exchange server is a Windows server, it's looked after by the Windows team.
I couldn't put multiple entries in /etc/hosts for outlook.fqdn.uk with multiple IP addresses, which is why I needed another way to tell sendmail where the mail server was.
Code:
# nslookup -q=mx mailhost.fqdn.uk
Server:         10.10.0.35
Address:        10.10.0.35#53

*** Can't find mailhost.fqdn.uk: No answer

# nslookup -q=mx outlook.fqdn.uk
Server:         10.10.0.35
Address:        10.10.0.35#53

*** Can't find outlook.fqdn.uk: No answer

I found the procedure on an oracle docs webpage (I'm not allowed to post URLs Smilie ) but I wouldn't have found it without the hints and tips in this thread.
Thanks to all who contributed. Smilie

tinydyndns-update(8)					      System Manager's Manual					      tinydyndns-update(8)

NAME
tinydyndns-update - update TYPE A record in data.cdb SYNOPSIS
tinydyndns-update fqdn dynip DESCRIPTION
tinydyndns-update changes the data of a TYPE A record in data.cdb in the current directory. Other than tinydns-data(8), tinydndns-update does not know about the source file data but changes the binary database data.cdb directly. First tinydyndns-update checks if the given fqdn has a TYPE A record in data.cdb. Then it checks if the given IP address differs from the one in the TYPE A record in data.cdb, or if the record's timestamp should be updated. Finally if data.cdb needs to change, tinydyndns- update copies data.cdb to data.tmp, changes the IP address of the TYPE A record of fqdn to dynip in data.tmp, optionally adjusts time-to- live or time-to-die, and renames data.tmp to data.cdb. ENVIRONMENT
TTL time-to-live. The environment variable TTL overrides the default time-to-live in seconds (0 if TTD is set, otherwise 5). If TTL is not set or zero, the time-to-live of the record will not change. $TTL must be an integer. TTD time-to-die. $TTD must be an integer, specifying a number of seconds. If TTD is set, the timestamp of the record is set to the current time plus $TTD seconds, and TTL is set to zero by default, so that tinydns(8) interpretes the timestamp as time-to-die. Note: you probably want to adjust SOA ttl, or create a wildcard record, to prevent DNS caches from caching nxdomain, when using this feature. LOC location. $LOC must be two characters long. If LOC is set, it specifies the client location for records to be updated. EXIT CODES
If tinydyndns-update cannot find a TYPE A record for fqdn in data.cdb, it prints a warning and exits 114. If dynip does not differ from the IP address of the TYPE A record of fqdn in data.cdb, and the environment variable TTD is not set, tiny- dyndns-update prints a note and exits 0. tinydyndns-update exits 100 if it has trouble opening data.cdb, and leaves data.cdb unchanged. tinydyndns-update exits 111 on temporary error, and leaves data.cdb unchanged. If data.cdb was changed successfully, tinydyndns-update exits 0. FILES
