if any one who is expert in sendmail please help me. i want to mail between different domain
computer1----------> DNS
sendmail_server1-------> abc.com test.net <-------sendmail_server2
on computer1 two forward zone named "abc.com" and "test.net" are properly configured and i queried from abc.com and got right results (with MX record) , and from test.net (sendmail_server2) got right results (with MX records) .
All local mail are properly recieving, but when a user send's mail to another domain, mail is accepted by MTA but after some time mail failure message is sent by its MTA with message

changes Made by me in sendmail are
1) i comment out the following line
dnl # Deamon_Options(`MT..........127.0.0.1...') i dont remember whole line
2) in access file
test.net RELAY
3)local_hosts_..... file defined my domain name
test.net
same configuration i did on another end
1) commented loopback address
dnl # Deamon..............
2) in access file
abc.com RELAY
3) local_hosts file defined domain name
abc.com
i am using RH9.0
when i query from any MTA e.g
>set query=MX
abc.com
it gives me correcto fqdn and its ip address
what is the problem, and whats the purpose of other files in /etc/mail directory
