In my experience this happens when sendmail can't look up your hostname.
The usual way to is to make sure your hostname is listed in /etc/hosts
on the "localhost" line.

For example, on my machine "metroid", /etc/hosts has:

127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost       metroid

hope that helps.
