Hmm.  Is this box pointed at a correct set of name servers?  What happens
when you run this:

  sendmail -Ac -v -q

( If it's literally 'root at enterprise', you might want to make sure
that 'enterprise' resolves to a real host somewhere that accpts
mail, and that you have MX or A records appropriately set up. )

A .forward file would only forward mail for that one user.  From
/etc/aliases, you could handle mail for all users, if neccessary.

This sounds more remote mail that not getting delivered.
