| I tried doing it that way and it wouldn't go out either.  I wound up 
| adding the 10.0.0.55 server to /etc/hosts and letting sendmail do it's 
| lookup there.  I never convinced sendmail to send to to the user foo on 
| the 10.0.0.55 server, is that supposed to be possible?

try:

> echo "this is a test mail" | mail "user@[10.0.0.55]"

(works in tcsh)
