I agree that it sounds like sendmail doesn't realize that it should
be accepting mail for jolf.co.jp (and mail.jolf.co.jp and guster.jolf.co.jp).

However it looks like you *also* have DNS problems:

1. guster's entry is probably missing a trailing period, so your domain is
getting tacked on twice:
guster.jolf.co.jp.      86383   A       202.252.99.39
guster.jolf.co.jp.      86383   MX      0 mail.jolf.co.jp.jolf.co.jp.

2. You also have a strange MX record for jolf.co.jp, with two MX records with
different priorities pointing to the same host.

3. hguster and mail both have A records pointing to the same machine.  One of
them should probably be a CNAME for the other.  (And be sure to use the
real A record name in any MX records.)

Try the commands:
  'dig any guster.jolf.co.jp.'
  'dig any mail.jolf.co.jp.'
  'dig any jolf.co.jp.'
