# local info #

section and look for these lines:
# my official domain name
# ... define this only if sendmail cannot automatically determine your domain
#Dj$w.Foo.COM
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ copy/paste this line
uncomment the copy and change this line so that it looks like this:

the Dj are important - dont edit them out. Save your changes and send yourself a test email.
The email you recieve should now have the user it was sent from followed by your preferred domain name - instead of the node and complete domain name.

ps - if you want to see what your version is and some other info, type this:
/usr/lib/sendmail -d0 -bt < /dev/null
the character after -d in the above is a zero.
You should get output similar to this:
