what kind of bounce message do you get when sending mail to, say,
root@the.b0rked.box? if sending mail TO the machine gives you a relaying
denied error, then sendmail can't figure out its hostname.

i'm a bit mystified as to what you fixed by changing the .cf version
number... well, if your domain name is mydomain.com, you can try adding:
Dj$w.mydomain.com
to your sendmail.cf file.
other than that: any host to which you agree to relay should be listed
in /etc/mail/relay-domains. if you can't send mail TO the machine, then
you have a whole new set of problems. i'm curious as to the bounce
message you're getting when sending a letter TO the box.
