What's that got to do with anything? Sendmail is at least 20 years old, and all you want to do is basic mail relaying, not regexp spam blocking or advanced routing.

Your system is doing as it's told, which is to send all mail to the default mail gateway. You need to create maps that tell the system to route local mail to a local mail box. There are multiple ways to skin a cat with sendmail, pick one.
