I know that FEATURE(promiscuous_relay) is a problem. I only put it in
temporarliy to see if I can actually send a message. Once I get this problem
worked out and things are working I'll set up the relaying properly.

What is 'n' ?  Sendmail is looking for the host 'n' to send the mail
through.  Show us your sendmail.mc, and we'll take it from there.
