/usr/lib/sendmail: illegal option -- A
This is telling you that the startup script (or the command you are running) has an illegal option - see the man page for legal options to the sendmail process.

As far as NIS, I don't believe there is anything special you have to do for sendmail to work with it - anything that was set up to allow NIS to work as far as logging into the server will be enough for sendmail to work (this is assuming you are talking about NIS and not NIS + )

check-hostname

check-hostname(1M)					  System Administration Commands					check-hostname(1M)

NAME

       check-hostname - check if sendmail can determine the system's fully-qualified host name

SYNOPSIS

	/usr/sbin/check-hostname

DESCRIPTION

       The  check-hostname  script  is a migration aid for sendmail(1M). This script tries to determine the local host's fully-qualified host name
       (FQHN) in a manner similar to sendmail(1M). If check-hostname is able to determine the FQHN of the local host, it reports  success.  Other-
       wise, check-hostname reports how to reconfigure the system so that the FQHN can be properly determined.

FILES

       /etc/hosts	     Host name database

       /etc/nsswitch.conf    Name service switch configuration file

       /etc/resolv.conf      Configuration file for name server routines
