Invalid Global DNS name and sendmail

[Andrew Fremantle]

Hello,

I've got a machine on the local network, with a local DNS name (which is 
not a valid name in the global DNS).

My problem is that I cannot kludge sendmail into behaving nicely and 
allow the periodic(8) mailings to get through.

The machine is named psyche.local
domain1.com is a domain that we own, but this machine has nothing to do 
with it. I want the emails delivered to andrew at domain1.com. This is not 
an email server in any way - All I care about it getting my periodic output.

Here are the settings I'm trying :

/etc/mail/psyche.local.mc
define(`SMART_HOST', `mail.telus.net')
define(`MAIL_HUB',`mail.telus.net')

define(`confDOMAIN_NAME',`domain1.com')

MASQUERADE_AS(domain1.com)
MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(psyche.local psyche)
FEATURE(`allmasquerade')
FEATURE(`masquerade_envelope')

/etc/mail/genericsdomain
psyche.local

/etc/mail/genericstable
root    andrew at domain1.com
andrew  andrew at domain1.com

/etc/mail/aliases
root : andrew at domain1.com

/etc/hosts
192.168.2.10   psyche psyche.local

With all the configurations I've tried, emails are rejected by my 
smarthost with an error like "sender address root at psyche.local invalid; 
domain does not exist".

What I'd like to do is find a way to alter sendmail's perception of my 
hostname. Ideally, this would only affect sendmail and nothing else.

I can't possibly be the only person running such a configuration. How 
have other people in the list worked past this?
