That looks OK, so I'm guessing your local sendmail has the incorrect
smarthost. Add a line saying:

	define(`SMART_HOST',`mailer1.dcs.bbk.ac.uk')

to /etc/mail/sendmail.mc, and then run

	cp /etc/sendmail.cf /etc/sendmail.cf.OLD
	m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/sendmail.cf
	service sendmail restart

PS. Are you sure sendmail's a wrapper for postfix? I thought RH had
    provided both via a debian-style /etc/alternatives system under RH8.
    To where does /etc/alternatives/mta point?
