The priority is only used when there are more than one mailhosts. Otherwise the value doesn't matter much. Telnetting is a good idea but use the help function of sendmail. In this case it ought to be something like 'vrfy johpe@bitmap.com' you want to give and then watch the result code. Anyway, it looks like a sendmail problem. Maybe the security as in /etc/mail.
