problems with sending mail

Hi.                                                              I am having
problems with trying to send mail out from my
system. I don't think it is my MUA because I have tried 
sending mail from both pine and mutt, and get the following
errors: 
The original message was received at Fri, 28 Jan 2000 
01:51:36 1030 from aoc@localhost                                 ----- The following
addresses had permanent fatal errors -----     remianke@worldonline.nl 
 ----- Transcript of session follows -----                       550 remianke@worldonline.nl...

After reading the sendmail man pages, I added the following lines into my /etc/sendmail.cf
file. This didn't seem to help.

# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
DS<mail.chariot.net.au>
.
.
.
#who I masquerade as (null for no masquerading) (see also $=M)
DMandroc@box.net.au   

Any ideas,
TIA,
