Sendmail 8.13.8 malformed address

Sending email produces malformed address error. The domain name appears as the active directory name which is not a valid Internet domain thus the malfomred address error.

I have:
Code:
divert(0)dnl
VERSIONID(`@(#)sendmail.mc      1.11 (Sun) 06/21/04')
OSTYPE(`solaris8')dnl
DOMAIN(`solaris-generic')dnl
define(`confFALLBACK_SMARTHOST', `mailhost$?m.$m$.')dnl
FEATURE(`always_add_domain')
FEATURE(`masquerade_entire_domain')
FEATURE(`masquerade_envelope')
FEATURE(`allmasquerade')
MASQUERADE_AS(`my fully qualified Internet name here')
MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(`my full active directory name here')dnl
MAILER(`local')dnl
MAILER(`smtp')dnl

LOCAL_NET_CONFIG
R$* < @ $* .$m. > $*    $#esmtp $@ $2.$m $: $1 < @ $2.$m. > $3

run make, stop sendmail (confirm not running), then start sendmail, no errors

When sending it bounces back:
... while talking to otherdomain.com.:
>>> MAIL From:<user@my full active directory name here> SIZE=643
<<< 501 <user@my full active directory name here>: malformed address: my full active directory name here> may not follow

I also added after masquerade did not work:
in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
Djmy fully qualified Internet name here

How can I get it to use the correct Internet name and not the active directory name for sendmail?
