Try running

# echo maineville.net >> /etc/mail/sendmail.cw

and then kill -HUP sendmail. That should fix it.

If you're interested, the problem is that sendmail doesn't
realize that you own both maineville.net and whatever the domainname
of your machine is. Putting an entry in the sendmail.cw file will
tell sendmail to accept mail for that domain.
