[PLUG] Sendmail config question

Sorry, that was a little confusing.  I'd like email to appear as
user at mydomain.com, not as user at host.mydomain.com.

Here's the problem, I have scripts running from cron that page my
cellphone.  The sending servers do not have external DNS entries.  My
cell company then bounces these with this message:

553 host.mydomain.com does not exist

So, I'm hoping that I can configure Sendmail on each box to make the
outgoing SMTP conversation using only mydomain.com.
Thanks,
~M
