This has been extensively discussed on the list.  There are two
answers:

  1) Change MTAs.  (recommended)

  2) You can reconfigure Sendmail (see list archives) however you
  lose slam filtering capabilities (cf Chuq's statements).

Suggest: Look into Exim or Postfix instead.  Sendmail is not worth
your time.
