You're not giving a FQDN for your machine in /etc/hosts, so sendmail will keep trying to find its name (domain name in /etc/resolv.conf). If that's not configured correctly it will fail (because there is no something.yahoo.com or other).
Instead put the FQDN in /etc/hosts directly:
10.3.2.7 something something.yahoo.com loghost
and then it won't matter what domain/search entry is in /etc/resolv.conf.
