I use sendmail to front-end our exchange server by using the mailertable
feature. A couple of things to check:

1) Does your sendmail.cf support the mailertable feature? Look at the top
portion of your sendmail.cf file for something similar to:

#####  $Id: mailertable.m4,v 8.23 2001/03/16 00:51:26 gshapiro Exp $  #####

If is does not support the mailertable feature, then you will have to edit
your sendmail.mc file and add the mailertable feature and then recreate
sendmail.cf using m4. i.e.

FEATURE(`mailertable',`hash /etc/mail/mailertable.db')dnl

2) The proper syntax for specifying an ip address in the mailertable is
(Note the brackets):

.mydomain.com esmtp:[192.168.1.10]

3) Recompile the mailertable database. I do this by typing "make" in the
/etc/mail directory. Note: 1) Redhat typically recompiles these databases in
the sendmail init script. 2) You might have to edit the /etc/mail/Makefile
to include the mailertable.

4) To solve the mail loops by to self problem... make sure the domain name
your trying to relay internally is not listed in the
/etc/mail/local-host-names file. It needs to be listed in
/etc/mail/relay-domains -or- /etc/mail/access. I use relay-domains.

That's all I can think of. Good luck!

BTW: The latest release of sendmail is 8.12.6. Consider upgrading
