So the masquerade doesn't apply to this users, and all users defined
in the trusted-user file.
In the sendmail.cf :
# class L: names that should be delivered locally, even if we have a relay
# class E: names that should be exposed as from this host, even if we
# masquerade
# class M: domains that should be converted to $M
#CL root
CE root
In the doc :
op.txt: trusted users from a file use Ft/file/name.
and :
confCT_FILE Ft class [/etc/sendmail.ct] Name of file used
to get the local additions to the $=t
(trusted users) class.
confTRUSTED_USERS Ct class [no default] Names of users to add to
the list of trusted users. This list
always includes root, uucp, and daemon.
See also FEATURE(use_ct_file).
So don't post from root :)
But in the aliases file add :
root: <real user>
