The problem was in my sendmail.cf file.  The solution is to change
the "official host name" in /etc/sendmail/sendmail.mailhost.cf from
"Dj$?m$w.$m|$w$." to "Dj$w" and make sure that sendmail.cf is linked to
sendmail.mailhost.cf.

Thanks to Gregory Lampshire, Pierce Cantrell, and Garance A. Drosehn for
their quick help.
