No, the message bounced because sendmail could not find the host's MX
record.

Try sending to "cesar@[192.168.1.101]". The "[]" tell sendmail to send
it directly to the host without any DNS lookups. If this works, you just
need to give the host a hostname, or use the mailertable feature in
sendmail and make the following entry in your mailertable:
192.168.1.101    esmtp:[192.168.1.101]
