As your mail access server (Cyrus-IMAPd) is running locally, as well
your MTA (Sendmail), it is proper to set their addresses in the MUA
(mail user client) with localhost. But don't forget that if you send
through your local Sendmail, using smtp.gmail.com as your smart host,
you will have to set a valid sender mail address.
