I came in late so I don't know what the original question but if you
have a statement like this in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc
MASQUERADE_AS(trinity.edu)dnl
and then run: make -C /etc/mail
Your /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file will have a line in it like:
DMtrinity.edu
and if you restart sendmail all your mail be sent coming from the
domain trinity.edu. Obviously you need to change trinity.edu to the
domain you want your mail to come from by default.
