i've got a little Problem with my sendmail configuration.
This situation:
I've got a webserver "partynet.at" and a mailserver (MX: mail.partynet.at)
so all external mails go to the mailserver with no problems.

but if i send email from my webserver to any @partynet.at address - sendmails trys to deliver them localhost - but cannot find the mailboxes because there are not mailboxes on the webserver ...

how can i tell sendmail to send every @partynet.at mail to my mailserver? 


Stop sendmail from auto configuring list of local email domains:
http://www.sendmail.org/m4/tweaking_config.html#confDONT_PROBE_INTERFACES

How to modify list of local email domains "manually" is described at
http://www.sendmail.org/faq/section4.html#4.5

If you defined confDONT_PROBE_INTERFACES in your *.mc file the answear set of standard questions:
1) Have you restarted sendmail dameon after modifyng sendmail.cf?
2) What is reported by the commands below?
# Is DontProbeInterfaces set in sendmail.cf
grep -i DontProbeInterfaces /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
# What is present in list of local email domains?
echo '$=w' | sendmail -bt
# What is "this host" name for sendmail
echo '$j' | sendmail -bt
