With most recent MTAs, this shouldn't be an issue, sendmail included.
It looks to me like from sendmail's perspective, there really isn't any
user named <elinay@swjedi.net> on that box.
Brian, if that's a virtual domain, could there be problems with
/etc/mail/virtual (it's been awhile since I played with the
sendmail virtual stuff, so the filename may be a little different)?
