It's not that's Sendmail..

Mailscanner CANNOT reject mail during the SMTP session due it it's design,
therefore anything related to SMTP 4xx and 5xx error codes can not involve
MailScanner.

look up the accept_unresolvable_domains feature in your sendmail.mc..

by default Sendmail will not accept mail with an unresolvable return path unless
this is enabled.
