When you have uncommneted and set this option, recreate your sendmail.cf file using the instructions found at the top of sendmail.mc. Now restart sendmail so it will use the new sendmail.cf file and try your mail command again. BTW: Further study should include adding the following define in sendmail.mc... define(confDOMAIN_NAME, `mail.mydomain.com')dnl See /usr/share/sendmail-cf/README.
