Masquerading for what? verizon.net is hardly your domain.

What happens if you send by using following command - not as root!:

date | /usr/lib/sendmail -v friends_email at anywhere.com

Sounds correct.

sendmail -f is only used if you configured Evolution to use sendmail for
sending rather than using SMTP.

Though verizon.net is not your domain and masquerading using it hardly
makes sense, these masq entries are correct. jorge.cc seems to be your
domain, so masquerading to that domain would make sense.

What is the output of:

/usr/lib/sendmail -bt -d0.9 < /dev/null
