    OK, this is a weird one. A customer tried to send an email and my machine
    kicked it back with a 501 Sender domain must exist. So I added his domain
    to /etc/mail/access and rebuilt the sendmail.cf. OK he can send me email
    now. But I cannot send to him I get 550 Host unknown. Now I can send via
    Outlook but when I try with sendmail on my UX box 550. Any ideas?
