Provided that your machine has its hostname listed in
/etc/mail/local-host-names then local mail should be delivered locally.
Note that you have to restart sendmail to read the contents of this file.
Verify that any references are to "postmaster" or "postmaster at hostname",
where "hostname" is the name of the machine itself, and not to
postmaster at someotherdomain.

If this still doesn't sort it then you would need to provide more details, 
eg hostnames involved, how you are routing to your smarthost (eg using the 
SMART_HOST setting in sendmail.mc or using mailertable).
