Paul? It is an error indicating the mail is rejected! DSN 550 is a
permanent error. The reason for this I assume is, that Sendmail does not
know that it is responsible for the domain "numb.darktech.org". Easy to
check by running

echo '$=w' | /usr/lib/sendmail -bt -d0.0

The missing entry has to go to /etc/mail/local-host-names and a "service
sendmail restart" is necessary afterwards.
