team.cba is *NOT* visibile from the 'Net, and hence NOT visible from
freebsd.org. The reason why *you* can see it is because your default
domain has been set to ualr.edu, which gets appended to team7.cba when
you run nslookup.
What you need to do is to tweak your sendmail.cf to set your domain
name to team7.cba.ualr.edu. IIRC, you do this with:
Djteam7.cba.ualr.edu
somewhere in /etc/sendmail.cf
