Hello Andrew,
Actually I wasn't asking how to disable the sendmail canonicalization.
The sendmail.cf has some rules for handling local names and they're
working when invoked in test mode. It seems to me that I have
mis-configured the resolver or how do the sendmail resolve names. And I
need someone who could clarify me what I had done wrong.
Thanks for you reply,
Andrey Nepomnyaschih

Hello everybody,
I've got some problems with sendmail. Going through logs
I've found that
sendmail identifies itself as localhost.domain. where I
would expect
it should be just [localhost].

to=xxx@domain, ctladdr=xxx (x/x), delay=00:08:59, xdelay=00:00:00,

I believe that it just canonify the localhost name by appending
domain. to it. Because when I change /etc/hosts
from
127.0.0.1 localhost
to
127.0.0.1 localhost.
The first one is relative, the second is absolute path. I
think, in the
second case is nothing to canonify.
I get:

to=xxx@domain,
ctladdr=x (x/x), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay,

Sounds really strange because testing rules gives me the following:
$ sendmail -bt
ADDRESS TEST MODE (ruleset 3 NOT automatically invoked)
Enter ruleset address
3 localhost
canonify input: localhost
Canonify2 input: localhost
Canonify2returns: localhost
canonify returns: localhost
So the question is why do sendmail canonify the localhost name?
See the docs for FEATURE(`nocanonify', `canonify_hosts'),
CANONIFY_DOMAIN(`my.domain'), etc.
