www.sendmail.org is your friend here, but the file you're looking for
is /etc/mail/relay-domains. Put 'irony.org' there, reload, and you
should be ready to roll. This assumes sendmail 8.9.x; you didn't say
what version of Debian you installed. It matters, since 8.8.x (a)
relays by default and (b) often uses different mechanisms for enabling
relaying if you do disable it.
