If you are trying to sendmail to this host using that hostname then 
because the name is not in the organisation's nameservers it will not 
resolve and the mail clients will fail.  YIf you want to send mail to a 
hostname that is not in the dns  then you need to speak to the 
organisations hostmaster and get them to enter it.  If you want to 
bypass this just work using IP addresses.

so telnet ipaddressofserver 25

If you just want the mail forwarded the DS option in my last email 
should work.
