The OP has misconfigured his machine. It assumes that this is a
relaying attempt. Hence the error message (with an explanation).
The OP should read the sendmail FAQ.
Assuming pilikia.net is a local domain (which the ns1.pilikia.net
implies) it should be added to class {w}. Details can be found
in cf/README:
If your host is known by several different names, you need to augment
class {w}. This is a list of names by which your host is known, and
anything sent to an address using a host name in this list will be
treated as local mail. You can do this in two ways: either create the
file /etc/mail/local-host-names containing a list of your aliases (one per
line), and use ``FEATURE(`use_cw_file')'' in the .mc file, or add
``LOCAL_DOMAIN(`alias.host.name')''. Be sure you use the fully-qualified
name of the host, rather than a short name.
