My solution is go into sendmail.cf, change the "DM" line to

DMesimene.cynet.net.au

then sendmail with automatically replace the name of your local
machine to esimene.cynet.net.au.

You may also want to add in Ruleset 1 (sender address rewriting),
after line "S1", one more rule to map all local login ids to mikel,

S1
R$*		mikel

After these changes, you may send mails as usual, sendmail will
rewrite the sender's address to mikel@esimene.cynet.net.au. Replies
will go to that address and you can retrieve them using a POP client.
