I never could stop sendmail
I've had similar problems jastanle84 and I don't even need sendmail. But I never could seem to get rid of it, even disabling the service did not help.
What can get rid of the error message though is modifying your /etc/hosts file.
Remember, each host can have several aliases. They are just listed on the same line, like this:
w.x.y.z myhost mycrazyhost mywackyhost
(Of course the w-z are replaced by numbers. That is your IP address.) "So what?" you say? Big deal, I can use several names for the same machine. Uh-huh it is a big deal if you want to get rid of this error message. The "domain name" it is looking for is anything after the host name and a dot, so you can do something like this:
111.222.333.444 myhost myhost.quiet
That's all there is to it. Oh, you might have to stop/restart sendmail or even the inet daemon (or reboot if you can). I forget, but I think you might not have to do this. Try it and let everyone know.

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 ATTRIBUTES
