I don't know exactly what AOL uses a criteria to filter out spam and
other unwanted content. At least the domain part of your mail address
should be locatable, typically by an A or MX record in DNS. Not valid is
something like "base.murraydomain" (i.e. username@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx),
which seems to be your hostname setting.
See the URL and it's information I appended to this reply. You have
better chances - I suspect AOL's anti-spam measures are activated world
wide and not just for German users - to send your mail through AOL by
using the submission port 587. To do so set

define(`RELAY_MAILER_ARGS', `IPC $h 587')dnl

in the sendmail.mc, and in the mailertable something like

	relay:[your.aol.smtp.host.com]

What exactly do you want to debug/test? You can find some hints and also
test instructions (sendmail -bt) at

http://www.brandonhutchinson.com/Sendmail_masquerading.html

If changing to use the submission port 587 at AOL's side and bypassing
the enforced proxy, you can remove the exposed user setting in
sendmail.mc - as a final action.
