Help with Sendmail

Dear all,

Sorry to bother you, I don't know if this qualifies to be posted to
this list so I'm trying. If you find it offensive please ignore and
pardon me.

My problem is that I have set up ifmail on a Linux box (Red hat 4.01)
but can't get ifmail to redirect mail to my points. All mail to
recipients at the points are sent back to sender. I think the
problem is with my sendmail configuration which is listed below.
Those sendmail gurus among you, could you run a comb through it an
tell me where the louse is?

Note I not connected to the Internet (no IP address) so I have
disabled DNS and all SMTP references.

It's a plain standalone node.
