Right.  This change won't help solve the problem you asked about.

Someone else already provided references to MASQUERADE_AS(), but if you can't 
get that working, you can forcibly set it by uncommenting the following line in 
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf:

# my official domain name
# ... define this only if sendmail cannot automatically determine your domain
#Dj$w.Foo.COM

...to:

Djdomain.com

[ Using an .mc file is the way to go if at all possible, but the above plus a 
"make restart" should do in a pinch. ]
