Sendmail Problem II: The HOWTO's Revenge

In reference to the email problem I posted about here a couple of days ago, someone pointed me at the Sendmail address rewriting mini-HOWTO. I followed all the instructions in it, then stopped & restarted sendmail...but the email I send still bounces, though this time I get the bounce from my local ISP's mail server.

This time, the error message is coming from my local ISP--mchsi.com--'s mail server--it reads:

This Message was undeliverable due to the following reason:

Your message was not delivered because the return address was refused.

The return address was '<robotech@terrania.zeropain.com>'

Please reply to Postmaster@mchsi.com if you feel this message to be in error.



The headers on a test email I sent from myself to my robotech@eyrie.org account are as follows:

UPDATE: And here's what my sendmail.mc looks like, just in case it has relevance:

# I don't know what all that dnl stuff is; it was in my sendmail before I edited, even
# though it wasn't in the HOWTO.  I figured I'd better leave it alone, but could it be
# causing my problem?

LOCAL_CONFIG
#MASQUERADE_AS(terrania.zeropain.com)dnl 
# commented out because I thought that might be what was causing it
## Custom configurations below (will be preserved)


Anybody have some advice on this situation? I sure could use it.
