Your machine is misconfigured; it is returning a simple hostname instead
of a fully qualified domain name.  This causes sendmail to do some bad
things because it does not know any better.  Change the machine's name
to its fully qualified domain name and make sure that the fully
qualified name is the first entry in the machine's /etc/hosts file.
