Sendmail wants a system name that resolves, not just a hostname that
doesn't. Ideally this would be a FQDN. If you are only sending this
mail to your local systems you could potentially deal with this by
putting the hostname in the local machine's /etc/hosts file and then
adjusting things so that your target system will accept mail from
names that don't resolve.

Jul 28 12:07:57 homere sendmail[76758]: My unqualified host name
(homere) unknown; sleeping for retry
Jul 28 12:08:42 homere systemd[1]: sendmail.service: start operation
timed out. Terminating.
Jul 28 12:08:42 homere systemd[1]: sendmail.service: Failed with
result 'timeout'.
