$j can be set in /etc/mail/local-host-names as well, it's probably easier
too :)
Additionally, ensure that your hostname is resolvable, by either adding it
directly to /etc/hosts or DNS. For example, in /etc/hosts:
1.2.3.4 bison.localdomain bison
Also, sendmail is tcpwrapped in RHEL3, so if you've done the standard
adding of ALL:ALL to /etc/hosts.deny, you'll need to add a line like the
following to /etc/hosts.allow:
ALL : 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
FWIW, the problem not that it won't accept mail from an unknown domain,
it's that sendmail can't figure out what's it's name is and giving up.
HTH,
