I think this is your problem! I know recent versions of sendmail have 
better handling of resolving the local host. For me this disappeared 
after appending

FEATURE(`allways_add_domain`)

to my sendmail.mc but updating your sendmail version should also change 
that behaviour to something different, I think! Had problems with this 
also but do not know exactly how I got rid of. Maybe because I do 
sendmail updates regularly and this dissappeared somewhere after 8.12.7, 
I think.
