That happens when it tries to deliver mail that should be forwarded
according to the mailhost file to the local machine.  Have you
definately got the right data in /etc/mail/mailhost
user at domain.com mailserver.com
Did youi build the mailhost db with
makemap hash /etc/mail/mailhost < /etc/mail/mailhost
(although the supplied script should do that automatically)
Does your version of sendmail actually support LDAP routing?
I think....
/usr/lib/sendmail -bt -d0.10 < /dev/null | grep LDAP
mine shows both LDAPMAP and USE_LDAP_INIT (I'm not sure USE_LDAP_INIT is
required but I'll bet LDAPMAP is), if yours doesn't show this then a
recompile of sendmail is probably in order.
