[CCing the list again in case someone else runs into this]

From the sendmail FAQ:

I'm getting these error messages:
        553 MX list for domain.net points back to relay.domain.net
        554 <user@domain.net>... Local configuration error
   How can I solve this problem?
   You have asked mail to a domain (e.g., domain.net) to be forwarded to
   a specific host (in this case, relay.domain.net) by using an MX
   record, but the relay machine doesn't recognize itself as domain.net.
   Add domain.net to /etc/mail/local-host-names [known as
   /etc/sendmail.cw prior to version 8.10] (if you are using
   FEATURE(`use_cw_file')) or add "Cw domain.net" to your configuration
   file.

 So, basically mortgage.gorman-gorman.com doesn't know it's supposed to be
accepting mail for gorman-gorman.com. Add gorman-gorman.com to the
/etc/mail/sendmail.cw file, kill -HUP sendmail, and try again.
