: Edit your /etc/sendmail.cf:

: Cw test.com morenuts.test.com 

: (and all other names )

: It should work.

But you shouldn't really edit sendmail.cf - edit an mc file.  Or even
better, create /etc/sendmail.cw and put your name in there.  This
requires FEATURE(use_cw_file) which is configured when you install
FreeBSD.
