1) What do the maillogs say ? (tail -f /var/log/maillog is your friend)
2) What does sendmail in test mode say ?
(try the following:
% sendmail -bt
ADDRESS TEST MODE (ruleset 3 NOT automatically invoked)
Enter <ruleset> <address>
>
... and enter "3,0 your@email.address". What's the output ?
Try this from the host your are sending from.
3) What does "dig mx bt-sys.bt.co.uk" return on your machine ?
We need more info to help you.
