I can't really offer a solution, but it looks like a problem with
sendmail (or smail) not liking your address (or rather lack of address),
rather than anything to do with routing or connections. Sendmail is
complaining that it wants a sender address with a domain in it.
Something like "sunsite.dk". The answer might be something as simple as
filling in your email address the setup of your mail agent (e.g., mutt).
Hope that is useful.
