You started your own topic by replying to the list mail with subject
"Installation gone wrong...".

erwin is the hostname!

define(`confDOMAIN_NAME', `guido-leisker.de')dnl
did not solve the problem.

May there be problems because my domain is guido-leisker.de and my mail -recipient is <...>@guido-leisker.de (hostet by a firm)?

There is an official mail system which controls guido-leisker.de as its
local domain and as well your home system with the same domain?

in mail-queue there are later mails like this:
------------------------------------------------------
The original message was received at Mon, 12 Dec 2005 22:14:17 +0100
from guido-leisker.de [127.0.0.1]
with id jBCLEHsb004594

   ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
root.erwin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    (reason: 550 5.1.1 User unknown)
    (expanded from: <root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>)

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
550 5.1.1 root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx User unknown
550 5.1.1 lists.gl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx User unknown
550 5.1.1 root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx User unknown
-------------------------------------------------------

Is that a result from trying to send mail to the real guido-leisker.de
mail server?

root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
lists.gl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
are existing mail accounts, hosted by the provider.
Seems that sendmail still thinks that that are local addresses?
Is there a loop?

If guido-leisker.de is treated as you local domain, then mail will not
be send for recipients of this domain to an external MTA.

Ok that sounds plausible.
But sending to most other mails-addresses with other domain doesnt work too.

$ echo '$=w' | /usr/lib/sendmail -bt

result:
ADDRESS TEST MODE (ruleset 3 NOT automatically invoked)
Enter <ruleset> <address>
> localhost.localdomain
guido-leisker.de
localhost
erwin.guido-leisker.de

If guido-leisker.de does not appear there, then mail to this domain will
be sent to the responsible MX or A record host. Maybe you want to add
this domain to /etc/sysconfig/local-host-names.

I am not sure what you want to achieve. You give confusing information.
Please elaborate if the hints are not enough.

My proceeding is confus too. :)

Hint: guido-leisker.de points not(!) to my commputer.
