Sounds like your sendmail is configured to think that domain2.com is
local.

Since, I don't know how you have your system configured, try:

 grep 'domain2.com' /etc/mail/*

Also, it is important to always look at the logs to help troubleshoot:

 grep 'domain2.com' /var/log/maillog

Then when you find the ID then grep for it too.

What does this tell you?
