you should configure it to be a null client using the /etc/mail/sendmail.mc
file. the feature you want is described at:
http://www.sendmail.org/m4/features.html
one thing to be aware of is that a null client is a special configuration.
you can't make any other configuration changes, it's a special, bare bones
config. for example it's impossible to have any anti-spam rules in a null
client config so if this is going to be a machine which is accessible by the
world you probably don't want to use it. use one of the other mechanisms i
described.

> DMsrn.com
masquerading and smart host configs WILL NOT work in a null client
config. i don't think this will be causing your problem but it could be
confusing sendmail into doing something whacky.

unless you've told your sendmail that hotmail.com is a local domain (by
putting it into your /etc/mail/sendmail.cw file or a line into
/etc/mail/mailertable) this is not the case. if you have done that then you
need to remove that.
