Sendmail adding .org after some addresses

Hello,
We run a mailing list and on our server sendmail is adding .org after some addresses, e.g. the first and third entries below in the process listing

Code:

root      1528  0.0  0.1  11764  6524 ?        Ss   Sep21   0:01  sendmail: ./p8NMgM0X031218 dimaventures.com.org.: user open 
root       825  0.0  0.1  11796  6872 ?        Ss   Sep23   0:00  sendmail: ./p8MMBTHR000323 alltel.net.: user open 
root     31759  0.0  0.1  11752  7008 ?        Ss   Sep23   0:00  sendmail: ./p8NITSQI029831 wrightinst.edu.org.: user open

Could this be related to the "subdomain name $m = org" as in the sendmail config below? If so, why does it adds .org only to some addresses?

Code:

# sendmail -d0.1 -bv 
 Version 8.13.8 
  Compiled with: DNSMAP HESIOD HES_GETMAILHOST LDAPMAP LOG MAP_REGEX 
                 MATCHGECOS MILTER MIME7TO8 MIME8TO7 NAMED_BIND NETINET 
 NETINET6 
                 NETUNIX NEWDB NIS PIPELINING SASLv2 SCANF SOCKETMAP 
 STARTTLS 
                 TCPWRAPPERS USERDB USE_LDAP_INIT 
 
============ SYSTEM IDENTITY (after readcf) ============ 
       (short domain name) $w = foobar 
   (canonical domain name) $j = foobar.org 
          (subdomain name) $m = org 
               (node name) $k = foobar.org 
 ========================================================

If this is the problem, how do I fix this? We have a single host in our organization, so it's not host1.foobar.org, host2.foobar.org. It's just foobar.org.

Also, some sendmail processes have been around for more than two days (e.g. the first process in the process listing above). How do I make sure that a process does its job and not hangs around.

Thanks for your help!

mailer.conf

MAILER.CONF(5)						      BSD File Formats Manual						    MAILER.CONF(5)

NAME

     mailer.conf -- configuration file for mailwrapper(8)

DESCRIPTION

     The file /etc/mail/mailer.conf contains a series of lines of the form

     name program [arguments ...]

     The first word of each line is the name of a program invoking mailwrapper(8).  (For example, on a typical system /usr/sbin/sendmail would be
     a symbolic link to mailwrapper(8), as would newaliases(1) and mailq(1).  Thus, name might be ``sendmail'' or ``newaliases'' etc.)

     The second word of each line is the name of the program to actually execute when the first name is invoked.

     The further arguments, if any, are passed to the program, followed by the arguments mailwrapper(8) was called with.

     The file may also contain comment lines, denoted by a '#' mark in the first column of any line.

FILES

     /etc/mail/mailer.conf

EXAMPLES

     This example shows how to set up mailer.conf to invoke the traditional sendmail(8) program:

	   # Execute the "real" sendmail program located in
	   # /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
	   sendmail	   /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
	   send-mail	   /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
	   mailq	   /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
	   newaliases	   /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail

     This example shows how to invoke a sendmail-workalike like Postfix in place of sendmail(8):

	   # Emulate sendmail using postfix
	   sendmail	   /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
	   send-mail	   /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
	   mailq	   /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
	   newaliases	   /usr/local/sbin/sendmail

     This example shows how to invoke a sendmail-workalike with Exim (from ports) in place of sendmail(8):

	   # Emulate sendmail using exim
	   sendmail	   /usr/local/sbin/exim
	   send-mail	   /usr/local/sbin/exim
	   mailq	   /usr/local/sbin/exim -bp
	   newaliases	   /usr/bin/true
	   rmail	   /usr/local/sbin/exim -i -oee

     This example shows the use of the mini_sendmail package from ports in place of sendmail(8).  Note the use of additional arguments.

	   # Send outgoing mail to a smart relay using mini_sendmail
	   sendmail	   /usr/local/bin/mini_sendmail -srelayhost
	   send-mail	   /usr/local/bin/mini_sendmail -srelayhost

SEE ALSO

     mail(1), mailq(1), newaliases(1), mailwrapper(8), sendmail(8)

     postfix(1) (ports/mail/postfix), mini_sendmail(8) (ports/mail/mini_sendmail)

HISTORY

     mailer.conf appeared in NetBSD 1.4.

BUGS

     The entire reason this program exists is a crock.	Instead, a command for how to submit mail should be standardized, and all the "behave dif-
     ferently if invoked with a different name" behavior of things like mailq(1) should go away.
