This is more application specific, so a sendmail newsgroup or 
freebsd-questions is perhaps a more appropriate place to ask this question.

sendmail is VERY good for logging verbosity.  Always look through 
/var/log/maillog. If there is nothing there, increase the LogLevel.  Also, 
examine the mail headers of a test message to see where its going back and 
forth.  Without seeing details like /etc/mail/access 
/etc/mail/mail/local-host-name or /etc/mail/mailertable or 
/etc/mail/virtusertable, my guess is that you forgot to add the target 
domain into /etc/mail/access and /etc/mail/mail/local-host-name (assuming 
Fw points to /etc/mail/local-host-names)
