I get the following in the sendmail log:

Just a quick thought, but have you enabled the rt-mailgate program
permission to allow sendmail to execute it?
Hang on...
Mine lives here:

lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           25 Jun 12 02:57
/usr/adm/sm.bin/rt-mailgate -> /home/rt2/bin/rt-mailgate

The permissions might be wrong, but that's the general idea.
I don't know if this is a cobalt thing, or a sendmail thing, since it's been
a while since I used sendmail. Qmail much nicer, but I got it working.
Does it bounce mail back to you with any errors?

It looks like it's sendind something back to jeeves for you, perhaps?
Cool name, by the way.
Let me know, I might have some other ideas.
