sendmail won't use relay...

A RHEL5 client set up properly to send to another host as
a relay doesn't do it. Yes, the "DS" field is set up in sendmail.cf,
sendmail daemon restarted a million times, etc etc.
Everything looks fine, it just doesn't work.
Why does it try to send the mail itself? Shouldn't even attempt
a DNS lookup. The mailhost (relay) can do that but here, the
client tries to do it itself for some reason. Please advise.
I try sending a test
to see if this is working and here's what I get:

Looks like your usenet client is broken, too, seeing you've posted 4 or
5 duplicates.

Not really a wanna-be, but I don't know everything.
