There are a couple ways to do what you want. First, remove the Signature:
line from your .mh_profile, and then either:
1) Copy /usr/local/lib/mh/componenets and /usr/local/lib/mh/replcomps
to ~/Mail. In your personal copies of these files, add a line that
looks like:
From: David Kelly <dkelly@hiwaay.net>
in the headers section, just above the line of dashes.
This will cause mh to insert the From: header, which sendmail
shouldn't touch.
-or-
2) Modify /etc/sendmail.cf to make your machine masquerade as
hiwaay.net. This is what I do; it works well, and is not mh
specific. Here's the relevant part and what it should look like:
# who I masquerade as (null for no masquerading) (see also $=M)
DMhiwaay.net
There are probably better ways to do this, but what the heck - it works for
me!
