You'll need to restart sendmail for it to take effect, I guess. However,
I know that sendmail doesn't like non-FQDNs (well, under Solaris etc) so
try inventing a fake domain, such as: tiger.local.network - then sending
to root@tiger.local.network (remember to frig your hosts files
accordingly).

I think there's also a debug setting you can increase, so that
/var/log/maillog* will provide more info. If you paste those logs, maybe
a sendmail guru can help.
I'm no sendmail expert - someone suggested I look at postfix as a mail
server, and it's suited me fine (much easier to configure also).
