There is an "exposed user" setting in sendmail.cf whose behaviour can be
adjusted by recompiling with sendmail.mc
The relevant settings are here in sendmail.cf
# class E: names that should be exposed as from this host, even if we
masquerade
C{E}root
So if you set the machine to masquerade a domain as "domain.com" for
example, take out the class C{E}root
