Re: sendmail-8.11.2-14

["Eric" <Eric at pdm-net.org>]

To complete the second reason, you must configure also the file 
'/etc/mail/local-host-names' which contains the hosts and domains for 
which your sendmail accepts mail for.

it might look like this:
    example.com
    mail.example.com

Don't forget to reload sendmail

Good luck
