You probably need to tell sendmail that mailer.dcs.bbk.ac.uk is your 'smarthost'.
AFIR one of the standard/potted configs is for a scenario where all traffic
goes through a smarthost -- take that & hack it.

I have not used sendmail for about 5 years when, after spending a fortune on OReilley, etc, books,
I moved to exim -- it is a well worth move, you investment in learning will be rewarded many times
over.
