Actually, I believe it's the EXPOSED_USERS macro, and it can be
adjusted; e.g. in sendmail.cf:
C{E}root
just remove the root user from this line. In conjunction with a
MASQUERADE_AS macro, this will allow root to send email coming from
your domain without your hostname.
You might want to use the MASQUERADE_ENVELOPE macro as well, 'cause
that's probably what your isp is filtering on (the envelope_from
address). Read all about it in /usr/share/sendmail/cf/README.
BTW, I agree that masquerading is NOT the proper way to do these
things.
