Sendmail does _not_ do this by default; you have to specifically
allow it by adding entries to your M4 file from which you build
your sendmail.cf.

If I had to guess, I'd guess that you enabled the domain via a
sendmail.cw file, rather than a virtusertable, or by setting
yourself up as a promiscuous relay.
