The obvious question is:  Why are you enclosing e-mail addresses in
quotes?  Sendmail is treating the quoted address as a single token when it
runs it through its rulesets.  This causes "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" to be
interpreted as an unqualified local address, so Sendmail adds the local
domain name to qualify the address.
