Ok, I've checked your IP address, and it appears to resolve correctly;
both reverse and forward.

Ok. Here's what I think is happening. FreeBSD's mailserver checks your
hosts announced name on EHLO. From your sendmail config, it will
default to:
"saturn.spectraweb.ch"
This is *not* resolvable by DNS. What you have to do is to add the
following line to your .mc file:
define(`confDOMAIN_NAME', `spectraweb.ch')dnl
Rebuild and install. That should fix it, I think.
