:: Currently any mail sent to @vacation.com comes back with the error:

:: This Message was undeliverable due to the following reason:
:: 
:: Each of the following recipients was rejected by a remote mail server.

::     Reason:    <user at vacation.com>... we do not relay


you need two things..

    1] a DNS MX record for vacation.com pointing to
    mail.vacation.com. I see you've already got that. Good.

    2] in /etc/sendmail.cw list all the fqdn's you want to accept mail
    for.. (vacation.com in your case)
