It appears that you might have more issues that we thought initially. Your best bet might be to open a PMR with Support. They will be able to go through the Sendmail config with you to resolve any issues you have.

http://www.sendmail.org/m4/whoami.html

Who Am I?   Normally, the $j macro is automatically defined to be your fully qualified domain name (FQDN). Sendmail does 

this by getting your host name using gethostname and then calling gethostbyname on the result. For example, in some environments gethostname returns only the root of the host name (such as 
"foo"); gethostbyname is supposed to 

return the FQDN (
"foo.bar.com"). In some (fairly rare) cases, gethostbyname may fail to 

return the FQDN. In 

this 

case you must define confDOMAIN_NAME to be your fully qualified domain name. This is usually done using: Dmbar.com define(`confDOMAIN_NAME
', `$w.$m')dnl
