Well, seems that the more I experiment with sendmail, the more questions
I have.

My apologies if this is a FAQ, but what is the proper way to get
sendmail to use the name server to resolve mail delivery.  I have
configured a MR and MB record for my mailbox, but still can get it to
work.  If I address mail directly to my account@host.domain, it works
great.  Addressing though to account@domain bounces.  A sample rejected
message follows:
