the easiest thing to check right now is the output of "hostname".  also,
i *think* that the periodic scripts send mail to root (i.e., they don't
add the domain), so perhaps sendmail is adding this?
try:
# sendmail -bv root

if that is the case, check /etc/mail/sendmail.cf for the hardcoded
hostname, or give sendmail a bit of -HUP (make restart in /etc/mail)

hope this helps
