I'm not quite sure if I understand your question correctly, so I'll try to mention some various possible solutions.

First, on the NT box, make sure that you have a Lotus SMTP gateway running. Otherwise, it won't be able to accept mail from the HP server.

You said something about command "sendmail user@server.domain". What did you do when you ran that command? After you enter that command, type out your message text, and when done, hit Control-D on a line by itself, and it will send the message.

If your messages aren't getting out of the HP server, sendmail may be having a hard time locating where to send them. If you want all of your messages to go to Lotus Notes, you can set a "smart relay" host in your sendmail.cf file with the DS macro. Set that and restart sendmail, and then all messages you create will get sent to Notes, where it can process them and deliver them locally or relay them elsewhere.

If you have syslog properly configured, watch the log file to see what happens when you try to send your message...that should give you a clue on what is wrong. Syslog options are set in /etc/syslog.conf and you can check the man pages for more info on those.
