Usually you can set your return address in the mail client you're using, and this is the preferred method. Just set that to a legitimate Internet address, and it should be delivered. If for some reason that isn't possible, you can also use Sendmail's masquerade feature to change the domain on all outgoing email. For more fine-grained control, you can use the genericstable feature to change any specific return address to something else.
