Ensure that "foo.bar.com" is listed as a machine for which the machine
(that's issuing the message) is willing to accept mail -- typically, this
is specified by including the name in "class w"; this is often done by
adding "foo.bar.com" to /etc/sendmail.c,.  though it can also be done by
modifying the /etc/sendmail.cf file directly (which some folks still seem
to like to do).
