Masquerading is a bullshit way of doing this kind of
thing anyhow. Use the -f switch if your calling the sendmail
binary directly from programs. If your using /bin/mail
as a MUA, then get a better one like Elm or Pine that
lets you do this.

Sendmail masquerading configuration
Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me with this.
I want to make sendmail (on a 5.3-Release server) leave the host name out of
the sender address when sending mail from that machine.
I.E. mail from root currently has a sender address of [EMAIL PROTECTED], I
want it to be [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead.
I need to do this because our smart host mail server (over which I have no
control) rejects mail from our domain if it has a hostname in it. Since my
server is in a VPN, I forward root's mail to my own account on the 'smart
host' server to make it accessible from outside the VPN.
I think that the masquerading settings have changed somewhat since I last did
this. I read http://www.sendmail.org/m4/masquerading.html, it suggests
MASQUERADE_AS(`host.domain') but when I tried that, it didn't work.
I believe it used to be just a matter of adding Dmfoo.bar to sendmail.cf
restart sendmail, but that doesn't work.
I have commented out the C{E}root line so that doesn't override the Dm setting
for root.
Sorry this OT, I did try to find somewhere else to ask this question, but the
newsgroup listed on the sendmail site doesn't seem to exist (according to my
news reader) so I'm asking here instead.
Cheers,
