Sounds to me like sendmail is not setup to take email by the address. Have you checked your virtusertable for an entry of this email address? Of cource that is only if you are using the virtusertable database. Next try looking in sendmail.cw for your ip address. This is a list of domains that sendmail accepts mail for.
