Sendmail resolving global MX, not from /etc/hosts

Hi,

I have build a FreeBSD 7.1 server only working as www, mysql, ftp, ssh.

I have trouble sending mail with sendmail to user@totempo.com

My server is mydomain.com and my mail server MX (2. machine) is an Exchange server on mail.totempo.com

The www-server can't connect to the DNS IP of mail.totempo.com (88.151.47.119), instead the firewall has a route from www-server to 10.0.12.16 - which i can connect to from the www-server.

in /etc/hosts i have

127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.totempo.com
::1 localhost localhost.totempo.com
88.151.46.250 bsd1 bsd1.totempo.dmz
88.151.46.250 totempo.com
10.0.12.16 mail mail.totempo.com

But if i try send mail with mail() from PHP to user@totempo.com i can se i /var/log/maillog that mail.totempo.com resolves to 88.151.47.119

Shouldn't use the entry in /etc/hosts ?

Best regards,

Philip
