I think that is for earlier RaQs, on a 4, just adding the email server alias 
enables email for the domain

Look at the file 
/etc/mail/local-host-names
Make sure the host name is in there as both
host.domain.tld   and  domain.tld

If its not add it and restart sendmail
./etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail restart
