      It sounds like you are saying that you are sending mail out with a
 return address of a.x.y.z, where x.y.z exists in the public DNS, but
 a.x.y.z does not.  If so, then this is indeed a local configuration
 problem as you are sending e-mail out with an invalid return address.
 Look up masquerade in /usr/share/sendmail/README.
