Error message is clear: You did not define your hostname and domainname. Check it out ( with root-permission ) with command:
/usr/lib/sendmail -d0.4 -bt </dev/null
and look for "canonical name" output. It should be like hostname.domainname.country-abbr, but I doubt it shows up in your configuration. So go into your sendmail.cf file and look for
DwYourHostname
DmYOurDomainname
and change it to your valid values. Then restart sendmail and try again.
