Your mail is tripping over your anti-spam rules - in this case, one of
the check_mail hacks which tests the validity of the originating e-mail
address.  Remove that from your m4 configuration and rebuild sendmail.cf
and at least that problem should go away.  When doing this you should make
sure that you don't disable the anti-spam features (particularly not the
anti-relay one).

For a DNSless box you probably want to use a MTA other than sendmail -
it is quite DNS-happy at the best of times.  At least Exim and Postfix
can be configured to operate completely without DNS, possibly others can
too.
