DSN: Local configuration error - what error is that?
This means your MX record is pointing to that machine but the machine is not configured to accept mail for the domain. you need to add your domain name to mydestinations.
sorry i thought you are using postfix with sendmail you need to add your domain name to /etc/mail/local-host-names
