FEATURE(nodns)
FEATURE(nocanonify)

in your /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf/cf/mymachine.mc file.  Compile
this one into `mymachine.cf', and install the latter as your new
/etc/sendmail.cf.

(If you don't have full sources online, install the `ssmailcf' source
package, it contains just the sendmail config stuff only.)
