Ureka! Apparently I have to leave a space between the "DJ" and my domain name to make it work.
"Dj ihe.com"
Now it is sending properly without the host name.
Thanks Marshall for pointing me in the right direction.

Thanks Marshall, but I got some strange result:
1) When I changed the "Dj$w.Foo.COM" to "Djihe.com" I got the following error
3:06:05> minh.nguyen@xxxxxxxxxx User unknown
/root/dead.letter... Saved message in /root/dead.letter
I did it using the following command:
mail -s "testing" minh.nguyen@xxxxxxx < /etc/hosts
2) When I changed the "Dj$w.Foo.COM" to "Dj$domain.com" the email goes through, but it showed up with a letter missing in the domain name:
"root@xxxxxx" instead of "root@xxxxxxx"
Any ideas?
Minh

In your /etc/sendmail.cf look for a section:
# my official domain name
# ... define this only if sendmail cannot automatically determine your
domain
#Dj$w.Foo.COM
And change $w.Foo.COM to domain.com. That should do it.

RH 2.1AS
For some reason when I send email it set the sender email as
user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Is there a setting somewhere I can change to have it just send as
user@xxxxxxxxxx?
I am a newbie at Admin stuffs, so details is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
