I believe that anything specified in the sendmail.cw file will be resolved as localhost.
-bash-3.00$ pwd
/etc/mail
-bash-3.00$ cat sendmail.cw
localhost
mybox
mybox.me.com
also, if your not running a sendmail deamon, make sure to add the following entry to root's cron to perform sendmail retries if needed.
# crontab -l | grep sendmail
50 * * * * /usr/sbin/sendmail -q
