All you should have to do is:
service sendmail restart
or 'make' in the /etc/mail directory (which is automatically
done by the init script when sendmail starts.

Sendmail can't resolve your machine's name in DNS.  Set
your hostname to a fully qualified domain name or
specify the name, or if that can't be done, use
define(`confDOMAIN_NAME',`<your_domain>')dnl

This has nothing to do with trusted users, which are allowed
to specify a From: other than themselves without having
a Sender: line inserted.
