Hello,
while sending mails with sendmail my Message-Id header contains no
valid domain host:

Message-ID: <000001c9868d$872f8940$958e9bc0$@pl>

PTR, reverse domain etc. is properly configured. DnsStuff.com throws
no errors for my domain.

What could cause this problem?
Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,
Jakub

Sendmail inserts Message-ID header only if it is absent.
It does not overwrite Message-ID header set by email client.

Use the command below to get an idea how Message-ID inserted by sendmail
looks like:
grep -i Message-id /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

On my host it is: <$t.$i@$j>
$t - current time
$i - queue id
$j - "this host" email name
