This smells suspiciously like a misconfigured /etc/sendmail.cf file, where
the machine mail.foo.com is not listed as a site that sendmail should
treat as local
You should already have a
Cwlocalhost
line in /etc/sendmail.cf; simply add
Cwmail.foo.com
under/above[/anywhere really] the localhost line and everything should
work properly.
