make sure kronos.honk.org is in your sendmail.cw file.  Usually in
/etc/ or /etc/mail/  if there isn't one there is a Cw directive in the
sendmail.cf file.  I'm not sure how it parses multiple hostnames, but I
know it's possible.  
If you're still running debian, debian seems to configure it as this 
from /etc/sendmail.cf:
# file containing names of hosts for which we receive email
Fw-o /etc/mail/local-host-names %[^\#]
