Your problem appears to be a DNS issue, sendmail can't resolve the machine you are sending mail from, "tm.net.my" to it's IP address "219.95.238.28" that's why it quotes "may be forged"

There are ways round this but it leaves sendmail open to abuse

Here's a link , use it at your own risk

You won't need a "smart host" statement as external addresses such as tscipoh@streamyx.com should resolve fine via your normal resolv.conf

As already stated "USE AT YOUR OWN RISK"

There's no maybe forged about it. tm.net.my is a DOMAIN and not a HOSTNAME

Maybe registering your mailserver box with a dynamic dns service like www.dyndns.org and then using the real FQN instead of something you made up?

Kualalumpamail.homelinux.net for instanace?

All designed to trace dodgy email and so facilitate speedy blocking of bad servers :-)
