OK!! That's not what I did.... I've gone back and changed things according
to what you indicated, thanks for making it so simple to folow...
The Asterisk box is on an internal network so instead of
asterisk.mydomain.com I tried using our external fixed IP address. The
error messages have disappeared, but I'm still not getting email.
Just for fun I changed the email I'm using in voicemail.conf to my gmail
account and it worked!! When I use our work email though, it doesn't work
here's the error I see using the 'tail' command:

I appreciate your help. I've pasted my hosts, network & access files below.
Thanks,
Hugh
hosts:
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 <my IP address in the form ###.###.###.###>
network:
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=<my IP address in the form ###.###.###.###>
access:
# Check the /usr/share/doc/sendmail/README.cf file for a description
# of the format of this file. (search for access_db in that file)

# by default we allow relaying from localhost...
