Failed to send emails to SMTP server

Our email server is called mail.mydomain.com. I have a Redhat 7.2 machined
called myrh.mydomain.com. When I try to send emails to other guys, foe
example, (E-Mail Removed), the emails can not be delivered to
myrh.mydomain.com because sendmail in my linux machine delivers it locally.

What should I do to fix this problem?

Thanks in advance

Mail from mail.mydomain.com to (E-Mail Removed) would tend to be
delivered locally if mail.mydomain.com knows to accept mail for
mydomain.com (makes sense doesn't it?). If you specifically want to send
mail to (E-Mail Removed), then that is what you need to use for an
e-mail address.

Now if these boxes are on a LAN with private IPs, then you would either
need to use the name of the destination's private IP, or would need a
mailertable entry something like the following (assuming that your local
domain is the typical RH localdomain:

myrh.mydomain.com esmtp:[myrh.localdomain]

Or it could be the actual local IP instead of a name. The square brackets
are to ignore any MX record (and would be required if an IP is used).
Restart sendmail after making any changes.
