The host is being told to receive mail for that address but sendmail
doesn't recognize that address as itself.  You have to tell it.  

In your sendmail.cf, add a line:
Cw nova.foo.com

or if you plan to have many of these, a better idea for maintenance is
Fw/etc/mail/sendmail.cw
and in this file, list each such domain, one per line.

Then just kill -HUP your sendmail daemon process and the mail will get
accepted.  Each time you add a line to sendmail.cw, you have to HUP the
existing process.
