It is not enough to set only the "Smart" relay host in
/etc/sendmail.cf, you have to set some other things as well.
/etc/sendmail.cf is difficult to read and understand, therefore
most people prefer to edit /etc/sendmail.mc instead.

I think it should work if you make sure you have the following lines
into your sendmail.mc

    MASQUERADE_AS(mb.infoweb.ne.jp)
    MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(petra.mb.infoweb.ne.jp)
    FEATURE(masquerade_entire_domain)
    FEATURE(`masquerade_envelope')
    define(`SMART_HOST', `mb.infoweb.ne.jp')

sendmail.cf can then be produced from sendmail.mc by using the
`m4' macro processor like this:

    m4 /etc/sendmail.mc > /etc/sendmail.cf

then restart sendmail and it should work.

Here's my complete sendmail.mc as I currently use it as an example:

sendmail.mc

Hope that helps,

Mike
