This is baically a DNS problem. Edit your /etc/hosts file you will find a
wrong line something like 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost ...
make it read
127.0.0.1 localhost.yourdomain.name
192.x.x.x lazy.yourdomain.name lazy
Also you can edit /etc/sendmail.cf and edit this line
# my official domain name
# ... define this only if sendmail cannot automatically determine your domain
#Dj$w.Foo.COM
uncomment the above line and put your proper fully qualified host name.
