In the future, include your sendmail.mc file, not your sendmail.cf.

A properly configured MTA should not have accepted the above recipient. It
should have printed an error stating something to the effect... "Hostname
required" i.e. There is nothing after the @ sign.

[... deleted sendmail.cf]

Based on the headers of your sendmail.cf file, it looks like your running a
very old version of sendmail. Plus, your sendmail.cf file was generated
using linuxconf. :-( See the sendmail.org site for reasons NOT to use
linuxconf to configure sendmail.

Seriously consider upgrading sendmail to the latest RPM available for your
RH distro. Sendmail is currently at release 8.12.6. If possible, start from
the redhat supplied sendmail.mc file (RPM sendmail-cf) and modify this file
to suit your needs. FWIW: The default sendmail.mc file that redhat supplies
is actually pretty good.
