An entry in the `submit.cf' file for sendmail fixes this problem on my
system.  Here on Slackware, the file is at `/etc/mail/submit.cf'.  The
line to be searched for should be at about line 59, and should include
the text 'my official domain name'.  A couple of lines below this
line, enter a line which starts with 'Dj' (note the capitalization)
followed by your domain.  The important line entered in my submit.cf
file includes the domain of my ISP (sunset.net), and appears as
follows:

Djsunset.net

HTH, and have a _great_ day!
