Somewhere, probably in /etc/mail/local-host-names, you told sendmail that domain.com should be delivered locally. Remove that entry and restart sendmail. If if was defined in /etc/mail/<HOSTNAME>.mc, then edit /etc/mail/<HOSTNAME>.mc and restart sendmail with a "make all install restart". You can probably find the entry with a "grep domain.com /etc/mail/*".
