It looks like you use Sun's sendmail. So here's what I would do
to fix your problem. (If this isn't Sun's Sendmail then check out
sendmail.org, but the process is almost esactly the same.)
# /usr/lib/mail/cf
# cp imain-v7sun.mc darwin.mc
# vi darwin.mc (or use your favorite editor)
add the following lines above the FEATURE lines.
MASQUERADE_AS(darwin.sfbr.org)
MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(darwin.sfbr.org)
FEATURE(masquerade_entire_domain)
FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)
add this line after the FEATURES lines.
define(`SMART_HOST', `mailhost.$m')
and change `mailhost.$m` to the fully qualified name of your IMAP
server. Once that is done, save dawin.mc and use m4 to redo the
sendmail.cf file.
# pwd
/usr/lib/mail/cf
# /usr/ccs/bin/m4 ../m4/cf.m4 darwin.mc > darwin.cf
then try darwin.cf, if all is well copy it over to /etc/mail as
sendmail.cf.
