Find out your ip address of your system by using "ifconfig" command
then find out your host name by using "hostname" command

#ifconfig<whatever the ip address> example
172.17.21.23
#hostname
< what ever the out will come > Example
tdm

then Just edit your /etc/hosts file
127.0.0.1 localhost tcs.com
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
172.17.21.23 tdm.tcs.com tdm TDM
----------------------------------------------
Let me explain you

this error appears to be caused in several ways, most related to DNS
name service. A few:
1. if your sending machine does not have it's own name/IPaddress in
its /etc/hosts file, it will cause the upstream target/relay host
to reject the message with something which means: "I don't know who
you are". The sending MTA sendmail then issues the error in the
maillog "...dsn=5.6.0 stat=Data Format Error". The fix for this is
to have a correct /etc/hosts; like so why i asked you to ediet the /etc/hosts file

And I am 100 % sure it will work for you

!!!BINGO!!!!!!!!

I checked the logs provided by you.
It seems to me you didn't configured your sendmail proeprly.
Do the following steps.

you need to edit the /etc/mail/sendmail.mc file. There you need to search line "dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')"
and then delete dnl. Now this line should be DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')
Save it and exit. Then you need to run below given command.

# m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
Then restart your sendmail service.

# service sendmail restart

or

# /etc/init.d/sendmail restart

Now you will able to send the mail from your system.



Thanks
