Edit your /etc/mail/sendmail.mc file and add
MASQUERADE_AS(your.domain)dnl
with the domain you want appended to your username rather than
your.domain.
Add
Cw your.domain
if you want to accept mail for your.domain.
If you don't want the domain appended on local email, remove the
FEATURE(always_add_domain)dnl
line.
After editing the file, cd /etc/mail, run make, and restart sendmail.
