Sendmail 8.9 has various anti-spam features, one of which is that the
domain part of the sender's email address must exist in the DNS.

There isn't much point in relaying mail with a bogus sender address,
as it can't be replied to. However, if you wish to do so, either
rebuild sendmail.cf with FEATURE(accept_unresolvable_domains) defined, 
or replace the lines:

R<?> $* < @ $+ > $*     $: <? $(resolve $2 $: $2 <PERM> $) > $1 < @ $2 > $3
R<? $* <$->> $* < @ $+ > $*
                        $: <$2> $3 < @ $4 > $5

(in SBasic_check_mail) with:

R<?> $* < @ $+ > $*     $: <OK> $1 < @ $2 > $3          ... unresolvable OK
