Being totally sendmail-impaired, I'm at a loss as to what is causing
this particular problem on my BSDI 2.1 machine.  

My subnet domain is pgm.com and I do my own DNS for it.  Every once in
a blue moon, an incoming mail message will be delivered with the "From:"
line in the form of "foo@bar.com.pgm.com".....weird.

Not a big deal, except when I try to reply to it, or when it's someone
subscribing to my Majordomo mailing list.  Somehow sendmail is resolving
that address and thinking that it's pointing back at our own domain.

I haven't changed the sendmail config out of the box.  Can anyone proffer
any advice as to what might cause this phenomenon??
