I put an alias in, so both addresses work on the list.

Which looks about correct, but then the receiving end says:

2020-02-24 22:57:31 1j6LjH-00076x-B2 <= [email protected] H=mga11.intel.com [192.55.52.93] P=esmtps X=TLS1.2:DHE_RSA_AES_256_CBC_SHA256:256 S=3729 [email protected]
2020-02-24 22:57:32 1j6LjH-00076x-B2 => crypto-ml <[email protected]> R=local_user T=mail_spool
2020-02-24 22:57:32 1j6LjH-00076x-B2 Completed

That's the cover letter. And then the other two seem to be broken:

2020-02-24 22:57:32 H=mga07.intel.com [134.134.136.100] sender verify fail for <[email protected]>: Unrouteable address
2020-02-24 22:57:32 H=mga07.intel.com [134.134.136.100] F=<[email protected]> rejected RCPT <[email protected]>: Sender verify failed

2020-02-24 22:57:32 H=mga06.intel.com [134.134.136.31] sender verify fail for <[email protected]>: Unrouteable address
2020-02-24 22:57:32 H=mga06.intel.com [134.134.136.31] F=<[email protected]> rejected RCPT <[email protected]>: Sender verify failed

Now, looking at your sendmail command line:

     -t -i -f smtp.intel.com

-f is the envelope sender address. smtp.intel.com is definitely not a
valid envelope-from address, it's a hostname and it looks like sendmail
magically makes that into:

  envelope-from <[email protected]>

and that mtg-dev.jf.intel.com is probably your host name:

    mtg-dev . Jones Farm . intel.com 

which is bonkers to begin with because I'm pretty sure that nothing can
send mail to that address.

Now in the cover letter the From: field is correct:

    From: mark gross <[email protected]>

but I'm pretty sure, that your other two mails are malformatted and
sendmail throws your bonkers -f "address" at it which causes the sender
verify to fail.

And of course because your envelope-from is broken, the bounce (reject)
info does not make it to you.

May I recommend to check the mails in mail/ and spec/ before sending
them out. You can also check them for a valid From: address after the
fact of course :)

BOFH excuse #208:

Your mail is being routed through Germany ... and they're censoring us.
