I have a system with two ethernet addresses le0 (prod_sys) le1 (test_sys).
When mail is sent to test_sys (le1) an error is returned. The system wants
mail to be addressed to prod_sys. The systems that is sending the mail
to test_sys does not have connectivity to prod_sys from security reasons.
the error is as follows.

I think that an entry in sendmail.cf will fix this problem but did not
see anything in the Documentation.
