It looks like sendmail hasn't been told to accept mail for
enderakonline.com. Check your sendmail.cf for the Cw and Fw lines. Each
line beginning with Cw should contain a domain name which sendmail should
consider itself the local delivery point. The line beginning with Fw does
the same thing, except it points to a separate file containing all those
domain names.
In your case, you probably just need to ensure that something like the
following exists towards the beginning of sendmail.cf
##################
# local info #
##################
Cwlocalhost
Cwenderakonline.com
# file containing names of hosts for which we receive email
#Fw/etc/sendmail.cw
Unless you're virtualhosting other domains on that box, you don't really
need to worry about sendmail.cw.
Hope that helps,
Mike
