This is on 3 different 5108R's

The IP address PTR is the server name entered in the GUI but Sendmail shows
the first vsite created as the name reported in the server logs as the
relay. For example:

relay=some-vsite.com [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]

Where it should be:
relay=server-domain-for-admin-gui.com [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]
