Is /etc/recolv.conf configured on this machine? Are you using DNS or /etc/hosts for name resolution? If DNS, does an MX record for the rtp.com domain exist in DNS?

sendmail must know, via DNS or /etc/hosts, where to send mails destined for rtp.com.

How does the nslookup report?

#nslookup -type=mx rtp.com

Also edit /etc/mail/sendmail.cf (or /etc/sendmail.cf depending on the version/build of sendmail) and set DS, DH, and DR to your exchange server. Also set DM to $m (domain name) for good measure.

rpt.com preference = 0, mail exchanger = antispam2.rpt.com
rpt.com preference = 0, mail exchanger = antispam1.rpt.com

When is says
sh:rtp.com: not found, means it is assuming rtp.com as a command which doesn't exist.
Are you trying this on HPUX. Can you verify the file permissions of /usr/sbin/sendmail and also try executing this command
echo test|/usr/sbin/sendmail -v ZZZ@rtp.com

what does it give?

I hope .profile file will not be a problem for this. rtp.com domain name is not getting resolved. You have to set it in /etc/resolv.conf with domainname rtp.com entry.

If you try you can able to send mails.

hth.
