Santiago,

  One can just "telnet brattain.com 25" and see the message

You might want to check the setting of the SmtpGreetingMessage parameter in 
your /etc/sendmail.cf file and make sure it is not "corrupted".  Also check 
your DNS settings.  On my test it answers "ns1.brattain.com" on close, but 
gives the weird helo message your reference.  Here is what I show for the 
Greeting variables:

RAQ4
# SMTP initial login message (old $e macro)
O SmtpGreetingMessage=$?{if_name}${if_name}$|$j$. Sendmail $v/$Z; $b

Qube3
# SMTP initial login message (old $e macro)
O SmtpGreetingMessage=$j Sendmail $v/$Z; $b

The $j parameter is set near the top of the sendmail.cf file and is generally 
commented out:
# ... define this only if sendmail cannot automatically determine your domain
#Dj$w.Foo.COM

You might check this and see....
