Sendmail & Bind Problem

We have set up a simple domain.
"ourcompany.ca"

The nameserver for is 

"nameserver.ourcompany.ca"

If we run "dig nameserver" the process fails.
If we run "dig nameserver.ourcompany.ca" it succeeds.

We are having a problem with 'sendmail' because the 'smarthost' mailserver is also "nameserver" and sendmail reports a DNS failure for "relay=nameserver"

How can we get named to respond to queries on the local subnet when the fully qualified domain name is not supplied?
