/usr/share/sendmail/cf/README documents what you can put into a sendmail .mc
file. The specific thing you want is:
define(`confDOMAIN_NAME', `$w.realdomain.com')dnl
Add this to the `hostname`.mc file, and then just type 'make' in /etc/mail to generate a .cf file from it. To generate and install that .cf file and restart sendmail to use it all in one, just do:
# make all install restart
Cheers,
Matthew
