Make sure you have correct name of your system with appended domain, for
example:

$ cat /etc/sysconfig/network
...
HOSTNAME=gandalf.whitebox.org
...

Try reboot or use commands:

$ hostname gandalf.whitebox.org
$ service sendmail restart

And then send mail again. Think about what error message told to you.
Your From: address was @localhost.localdomain, ie. some generic default.
You have to change this to true name with valid machinename.
