Can you telnet to port 25 at www.xxxx.com and it's IP address from outside.
Just a check to make sure that you really can get in from the great
ethereal cloud.  If you can get in (which I'm sure you can), then the
problem will be in sendmail.cf or sendmail.cw.  If you have the sendmail
source you'll be able to build your own cf file from a macro file with a
README in /path-to-sendmail/sendmail.x.x/cf and small boilerplate macros
in /path.../sendmail.x.x/cf/cf.  There is a lot of info at www.sendmail.org
You also might try /path.../sendmail -d0.11 just to see who sendmail
thinks it is.
