Have you tried the option
mda "/usr/sbin/sendmail -i %T"
?

It's what I use, mainly because fetchmail doesn't include a complete
SMTP implementation.  This, instead, uses the simple and
well-understood interface of a local pipe and lets all the complexity
reside in the full-featured MTA.

Doesn't the localdomains example.com mean that those addresses are
passed onto the smtphost unaltered - as they are supposedly already
valid addresses on the receiving machine?
