For what it's worth, I just finished setting exim to use 
smtp-server.nc.rr.com as a smart host for outgoing mail and I found that
it would not work unless the From: header in the outgoing message contained my
Road Runner address.

The mail would be passed off to Road Runner, but would not be sent any
further. It appeared to be working correctly from looking at the logs
just as you say. I ended up having to configure exim to tranlate my local
email address into my RR address to get messages to actually go
somewhere.

I don't know anything about sendmail configuration files, so I can't really
tell if this is relevent to your problem, but whatever...

Good luck,

Heath
