Just an off the top guess -- perhaps filling in the "masquerading" field in
sendmail.cf?  (It's preceded by the comment line "WHO AM I MASQUERADING AS."

For further info, try sendmail's website and look for the keyword
"Masquerading".  They've got a lot of good documentation.  The worst you
would probably have to do is recompile the sendmail.cf with m4

I'd be curious to know the answer if you're successful...

Good luck
