MailHost doesn't use sendmail, but rather opens a socket to the specified
sendmail host and uses the SMTP protocol to send the messages. This is
somehow prohibited. It looks like there is maybe no SMTP server listening
on the specified address and port, or your machine is not allowed to
connect. You could try and do a manual telnet to the address and port from
the zope_u account and see what happens.

Make sure you also go through the motions, like HELO <hostname>, and such.
