Don't make life too hard for yourself .. use the 'm4' files from
/usr/src/sendmail/cf/... my 'mc' files usually read something like ..

divert(-1)
include(`../m4/cf.m4')
VERSIONID(`$Id$')
OSTYPE(bsd4.4)
MASQUERADE_AS(scgt.oz.au)
define(`confCW_FILE', /etc/sendmail.cw)
FEATURE(use_cw_file)
FEATURE(always_add_domain)
MAILER(`local')
MAILER(`smtp')
FEATURE(mailertable)

 .. the 'MASQUERADE_AS' is the one you want.

I then run 'm4 filename.mc >/etc/sendmail.cf', add the relevant domain name
into /etc/sendmail.cw so that it knows that mail to user@do.main is local,
kill and restart sendmail and .. voila !
