This is a Sendmail configuration problem, rather than a Bind problem - the
right newsgroup would have been comp.mail.sendmail (or the Sendmail FAQ, which
answers this question).  You need to add xxx.de to class w so that Sendmail
knows it is local.  Look for a line like this in your sendmail.cf:

Cwlocalhost

And change it to

Cwlocalhost xxx.de
