[KLUG Members] Across the world, sure! Across the room? No!

Well, you definitely want a "smart host" setup.  Once that's done properly, and it should be easy to do, things should start working for you.

I'd check your log files, and verify that sendmail.cf has in fact been updated from your .mc file.

If you're still having trouble try putting the machines on the same table.  Maybe they'll play nicer with each other then.
