For future reference, Linux and some other systems have a getdomainname() function which should do { printf("No domain name available through gethostbyname().\n"); } return 0; }
It seems that getdomainname() will only tell you a NIS or YP....

That Sendmail is considering the original domain as a local domain and the server should be the final destination.
