Most likely, the value of $w being defined internally is your fully
qualified hostname, as normally happens on nameserver aware versions
of sendmail.  But you have rewrite rules which append '@$w.$M' or
'@$w.$D' to a local address.  [Or perhaps some other macro, in place
of $M or $D, is used for your domain.]  You will need to remove the
extraneous '.$D' (or whatever), wherever it occurs.
