Well Sendmail has a habit of doing that to everyone.

I seem to recall you need to have a few more masquerade options ... at
least masquerade_as. Quick google indicates :-

MASQUERADE_AS(mymailname.myisp.com)
MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(myprivatedomain)
FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)
FEATURE(masquerade_entire_domain)

No guarantees ... a few million mail messages may have gone through my
Sendmail servers but that was a few hundred million messages ago.
