Sendmail: Remove domain name from From mail id

While sending mails using sendmail, the domain name is getting appended to the from id. My requirement is not to have that domain name in the From mail id. Could anyone help me on this? I am using the below command:

Code:
cat t|/usr/lib/sendmail  -f"Admin" user1@domain1.com

NAME
domainname - set or display name of Network Information Service domain SYNOPSIS
[name_of_domain] DESCRIPTION
Network Information Service (NIS) uses domain names to refer collectively to a group of hosts. Without an argument, domainname displays the name of the NIS domain. Only superuser can set the domain name by providing name_of_domain. The domain name is usually set in the configuration file by setting the variable. The name_of_domain is normally a valid Internet domain name. DEPENDENCIES
NIS servers use the NIS domain name as the name of a subdirectory of Therefore, name_of_domain cannot be a or and it must not contain Since the NIS domain name can be as long as 64 characters, name_of_domain may exceed the maximum file name length allowed on a given file system. If that length is exceeded, the subdirectory name becomes a truncated version of the NIS domain name. The first 14 characters of all NIS domains on the network must be unique; truncated names should be checked to verify that they meet this requirement. AUTHOR
