Sendmail help on RH 9 - going out but NOT coming in..

Is there not one of us who can help here?? I'm really letting down my
pants here - not sure what's going on but if you could foreward this
link to a group you may know I would greatly appreciate it. I'm getting this error:

May 30 22:18:35 MYSERVERNAME sendmail[15551]: j4V2HWka015549:
to=<angelo.lagos@mydomainname.com>, delay=00:01:02, xdelay=00:01:00, mailer=esmtp,
pri=30329, relay=mydomainname.com. [xx.xx.xx.xx], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred:
Connection timed out with mydomainname.com.

And, the exact configuration setup I have (in vivid detail) is here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/redh.../msg00216.html, so
they can take a peek at it and tell me at least if the configuration
looks correct - I may know the problem (the IP address my
firewall/router is coming from may not be a static and DNS is
reporting it that way - from a Comcast address pool) - but, not being
a Sendmail guru, I don't know - right now I just need to know if mail
appears to be setup correctly....Thanks in advance.

mailstats(8)						      System Manager's Manual						      mailstats(8)

NAME
mailstats - Displays statistics about mail traffic SYNOPSIS
mailstats [-o] [-C cffile [-f stfile] FLAGS
Do not display the name of the mailer in the output. Use cffile as the name of the sendmail "cf" file instead of /var/adm/sendmail/send- mail.cf. Use stfile as the input statistics file instead of /var/adm/sendmail/sendmail.st. DESCRIPTION
The mailstats command reads the information in the /var/adm/sendmail/sendmail.st file (or in the file specified with the -f flag), formats it, and writes it to standard output. Note also that you can change the location of the sendmail.st file by editing its pathname in the sendmail.cf file. EXAMPLES
The format of the information is shown in the following example, in which the first field (M) contains a number that indicates the position of that mailer in the sendmail.cf file, starting at 0 (zero). For example, the first mailer in the sendmail.cf file corresponds to the number 0 in the mailstats display, the second mailer corresponds to the number 1, and so on. Statistics from Thu Feb 17 11:20:01 2000 M msgsfr bytes_from msgsto bytes_to msgsrej msgsdis Mailer 1 50 77K 1 3K 0 0 local 6 43 59K 58 99K 0 0 smtp ============================================================ T 93 136K 59 102K 0 0 The fields in the report have the following meanings: Indicates the position of the mailer in the sendmail.cf file. Indicates the number of messages received by the local machine from the indicated mailer. Indicates the number of bytes in the messages received by the local machine from the indicated mailer. Indicates the number of messages sent from the local machine using the indicated mailer. Indicates the number of bytes in the messages sent from the local machine using the indicated mailer. Indicates the number of rejected messages. Indicates the number of discarded messages. Indicates the name of the mailer. If sendmail transmits mail directly to a file, such as the dead.letter file or an alias target, the message and byte counts are credited to the prog mailer, as defined in the sendmail.cf file. However, mailstats will still default to var/adm/sendmail/sendmail.st. FILES
