Here's the real "right" way to do it, IMNSHO:

apt-get install postfix, or urpmi postfix, or yum install postfix
rpm -e sendmail (or appropriate dpkg command for Debian)

Then, edit /etc/postfix/main.cf
And set masquerade_domains appropriately

See the sample-rewrite.cf in the 'samples' docs directory for more on
Postfix masquerading configuration.

I haven't met a single person who has tried Postfix and not liked it
over Sendmail.  Sendmail has a lot of history, and has been at times a
decent MTA.  But there are very few reasons to still be running it in
2004.
