Did you edit /etc/sendmail.cf ? That will probably fix the domain name problem.

You only _need_ to change a few things, and they are pretty well labeled, and are also near the top of the file. 

Also, you understand that sendmail isn't a pop server. if you want to receive
mail on your netbsd machine, and have your users read it with Eudora or whatever, 
you have to build qpopper (which is in the pkgsrc tree ;-) )
