Sendmail comcast relay problem

So I had sendmail working from a ubuntu server @ home and all of a sudden it stopped working without me changing a thing. I think it has to do with it trying to send from root@comcast.net, which is not a recognized email address? The authentication seems to work fine, but I do get an error message in the log below that reads "550 5.1.0 Not our Customer". I use the following command to try to send the email from the command line. This command used to work a few weeks back, but it just randomly stopped working recently without me changing a thing:

sendmail -Am -v -t < test_email

test_email contains the following:
Date: Fri, 28 Sep 2007 11:28:32 -0700
Message-Id: <200709281828.l8SISWXg027022@server.hsd1.ca.comcast.net.>
From: notify@lijen.dnsdojo.com
To: lijentantan@gmail.com
Subject: Test Email
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/html

TEST!!


The resulting log reads:

Thanks in advance!
 
Can I have a peek at your sendmail.mc file? You can leave out the commented lines so it will be easier to read.
