I did that, but when I do the sendmail test, I still get a domain of
sender does not exist.

So, this is a new form of AAAA brokenness, that sendmail doesn't have a
workaround for AFAIK: The server says that the *name* doesn't exist,
with a NXDOMAIN response - can be verified with 'dig':
$ dig aaaa IslandSurf.com @lb1.ahphosting.net
....
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 29685
;; flags: qr aa rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 6, ADDITIONAL: 3
The proper response if there are no AAAA records is this:
$ dig aaaa sendmail.org @ns1.sendmail.org
....
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 42284
;; flags: qr aa rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0
which means "there are no AAAA records but there may be other records".
Sendmail's WorkAroundBrokenAAAA deals with another AAAA problem, where
the server gets all confused and doesn't respond at all, or responds
with a SERVFAIL or similar - this is interpreted as a temporary failure
which causes other problems.
If you have any influence on that domain, you would do them a favour by
trying to get them to fix this. If not, and you absolutely need to
communicate with them, one of Andrzej's suggestions will probably work -
another alternative is to disable AAAA lookups entirely, but this
requires recompiling sendmail without NETINET6 defined IIRC. (Actually
just building from the source tarball will do this on most OSes I
believe.)
