It is an anti-spam measure. (It prevents spammers from setting up their
own SMTP mail exchanger and bypassing ISP access controls.) Find out the
name of the ISP's local SMTP relay, and configure your system to relay mail
through that.
With Sendmail, you do that by adding
define(`SMART_HOST', `relay.isp.com')
to your sendmail.mc M4 macro file (and regenerating sendmail.cf), or by
adding
DSrelay.isp.com
directly to your sendmail.cf configuration file.
Hope this helps!
