Will masquerading rewrite it so that all email for a particular 
domain will go back out from the IP address of the domain instead of 
the server?  We use an Ensim control panel that might overwrite the 
sendmail.cf file when I do an upgrade.  I think they have made it so 
that it won't do that anymore though.  I have never done 
masquerading, I will have to read up on it unless someone here can 
tell me what to add to the sendmail.mc file or the sendmail.cf 
file.  It would be nice to have it in the sendmail.mc file so that 
whenever the sendmail.cf file is rebuilt, I won't have to edit it again.
