Your sendmail knows that the MX ror redback.com is ns3.redback.com - but cannot
reach it / redback is not currently answerimng on port 25
Either that or you are on a dialup ISP that does port 25 blocking and forces
you to use their smtp server. Not much to do there other than seeing
http://www.hserus.net/dlhowto.html
on configuring sendmail / exim / postfix to use a smarthost and queue mails
when offline etc. I'd suggest postfix, you can use postconf to change the
smarthost easily.
