Sendmail complaining about the domain is normally a DNS issue - check your DNS.

If you aren't using DNS at all, then your issue will be with Sendmail. Sendmail by default uses DNS. You can look at Sendmail's FAQ for info on setting up sendmail not to use DNS.

If you don't want this error show you

you just add . in /etc/hosts

example your hostname is xxx

10.10.10.10 xxx xxx.test.com loghost

somthing like that
and check log messages again this error will not show you

You may want to completely remove the dns on /etc/nsswitch.conf for line hosts ...
