According to the (big) sendmail book from O'Reilly, you would change
this to
Dj$w.myispdomain.net
It would seem that you could also put
Djgently.myispdomain.net
Haven't tried these myself, just read it out of the book, so can't
guarantee it :/ However, from your description, 'hostname' returns
"gently", and that confuses sendmail. If this is the case, use the
first example I gave.
Hope it works!
