You always have the option of specifying -f when running sendmail. :-)

Relaying? I always send direct to the target MX, without going through
my ISP (i.e., no smart host).
Perhaps you mean that some of your target MXs use dial-up users lists,
which block all IP addresses known to be dynamically-allocated. Feel
free to send a test message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], its MX is a machine
I control, and it only blocks on the RBL.

You can masquerade, as you realised. You can also use smart hosts,
via control/smtproutes (see qmail-remote(8)).
