Sendmail problem

Hi,

I've set up a linux box to use at work, and Im having a little problem
with sending mail.
I have a standard FC3 install and am currently using DHCP to obtain an
IP address.
If I try to send an outgoing mail (e.g, echo "test" | mail
irvingd at addr.com) , it seems to be accepted, but is never delivered.
Here's the corresponding entries from my maillog:

Apr 19 09:48:37 nebular sendmail[4678]: j3J8mWUd004678: from=irvingd,
size=44, class=0, nrcpts=1,
msgid=<200504190848.j3J8mWUd004678 at localhost.localdomain>,
relay=irvingd at localhost
Apr 19 09:48:37 nebular sendmail[4679]: j3J8mbQj004679:
from=<irvingd at localhost.localdomain>, size=355, class=0, nrcpts=1,
msgid=<200504190848.j3J8mWUd004678 at localhost.localdomain>, proto=ESMTP,
daemon=MTA, relay=localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1]
Apr 19 09:48:37 nebular sendmail[4678]: j3J8mWUd004678:

xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=30044, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1],

Apr 19 09:48:37 nebular sendmail[4681]: j3J8mbQj004679:

(500/500), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp, pri=120355,
relay=mail36.messagelabs.com. [193.109.254.211], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent
(ok 1113900730 qp 20015
server-13.tower-36.messagelabs.com!1113900729!16302711!1)

I suppose the odd thing here is the "irvingd at localhost.localdomain".
I can send successfully from another linux box, the logs are pretty much
identical (and the message is delivered). The only difference is that
the from address has the full box address
(from=<irvingd at somebox.co.uk>).

Could this be the reason why mail isn't going through?
Can anyone help me with any config changes I need to change to get
outgoing mail working?

Thanks,

Dave
