Note that the "sendmail" need not be sendmail. It can be basically ant
mail transfer agent (MTA). Postfix, exim and maybe qmail will do s well.

You can configure your MTA to add a domain name if the sender name
contains a username alone. It shoukd then help you with other mail
messages sent from this system. E.g: the outputs of cron jobs.
