send-pr issues probably related to sendmail misconfiguration

When I try to send-pr, I get:

May  9 02:28:09 lojak sm-mta[21955]: h499RhZE021953: 
to=<FreeBSD-gnats-submit at freebsd.org>, ctladdr=<evantd at lojak.washington.edu> 
(1001/1001),
delay=00:00:26, xdelay=00:00:25, mailer=esmtp, pri=30460, 
relay=mx1.freebsd.org. [216.136.204.125], dsn=4.2.0, stat=Deferred: 450 
<lojak.washington.edu>: Helo command rejected: Host not found

I can 'mail evantd at hotmail.com' just fine, but I suspect that the hotmail 
servers don't resolve hostnames. lojak.washington.edu is NOT an FQDN, but 
it's a lot nicer looking. I suppose I could try changing whatever needs to 
be changed to my FQDN, but what exactly would need to be changed? Is that 
even what seems to be necessary?

Thanks in advance,
Evan Dower
