So I opened port 25 to the fax server and put in DNS fax.mydomain.com as the firewall static IP so mail gets delivered to it, and it does.  To make the fax server think IT is fax.mydomain.com I added it to the host file with the private IP of the fax server, which seems to work,   I am not certain however that this configuration is whats causing the problem, however I don't see how it could since locally it believes it isfax.mydomain.com regardless of the DNS.

Are you really using "fax.mydomain.com" or a real hostname?  If you're using fax.mydomain.com, what happens if you 'telnet fax.mydomain.com 25'? Do you get an SMTP greeting?

When you try to send an email to faxnumber@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx are you still seeing the "dsn=5.3.4, stat=Service unavailable" problem?  If so, it sounds like something in sendmail isn't configured properly.
