you have config your /etc/mail/sendmail.cf to masquerade a FQDN. the only thing I can tell u to add and try is: DMYourFQDNhere eg: DMhotmail.com you'll get your email from b1henning@hotmail.com if your Unix user is b1henning. if this doesnt work, search for how to config your sendmail.cf's version for masquerading, old versions require more options at the bottom of the file in the envelope rewriting options.
