You need to setup a generics map file that maps your internal address into
the desired outgoing address. Then you need to build a sendmail.cf file
that knows what to look for the generics map file.

Look in the bat book under generics for more info.

I have a m4 file that I used to build my setup if you want to take a
look at it.
