You need a new sendmail cf file built from an mc file with
"FEATURE(accept_unresolvable_domains)" added. Look in /usr/share/sendmail/cf,
hopefully you'll be able to work out the rest from there. The normal one
in /etc/mail gets built from openbsd-proto.mc.

Copy rather than just editing, and use a different name for the installed
cf file so upgrades don't overwrite it.

*shrug*

you could try looking in eeprom(8), but I don't know if ALOM has
anything to do with that.
