You need to have in /etc/mail/mailertable:
.caamora.com.au esmpt:mail.caamora.com.au
and rebuild mailertable.db
In /etc/mail/domaintable:
mail.caamora.com.au
and rebuild domaintable.db
in /etc/mail/local-host-names:
caamora.com.au
and double check your MX record and /etc/hosts
Once that is all done, execute:
/etc/rc.sendmail stop
wait until all instances die then:
/etc/rc.sendmail start
