Nothing wrong with your sendmail.  The "Recipient address rejected: 
Policy Rejection- 274 -- Sender Quota Exceeded" tempfail is coming from 
65.182.102.90 when Sendmail is attempting to deliver the message.

Maybe you've messed up your mailertable - is DOMAIN.com mail 
(obfuscating the domain really doesn't help on a list like this) 
supposed to go to 65.182.102.90?  Or should it have been delivered locally?

Steve.
