It's not recommended.

Instead, running make in /etc/mail creates your hostname.mc file from 
the templates there.  (/etc/mail/Makefile is a model of making things 
easier.)

Then edit hostname.mc.  Change the masquerade settings:

MASQUERADE_AS(`mydomain.com')
MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(`mydomain.com')
FEATURE(`masquerade_entire_domain')
FEATURE(`masquerade_envelope')

After the edits, do a 'make all install restart'.  Done!
