Thanks to the following people who responded:

Claus Assmann ca@informatik.uni-kiel.de
Ian MacPhedran Ian_MacPhedran@engr.USask.Ca
Stuart Kendrick sbk@fhcrc.org

I had to configure the hosts line of /etc/nsswitch.conf to
query dns:

hosts: nis dns [NOTFOUND=return] files
                ^^^ add dns to this line

To test MX resolution:

/usr/lib/sendmail -bt
ADDRESS TEST MODE (ruleset 3 NOT automatically invoked)
Enter <ruleset> <address>
> /mx aol.com

My thanks to Ian who pointed me in the right direction
on both counts.

As always, this group is a real lifesaver.
