What you want to do is not so hard, just copy the following steps. It may look
a little harder than it is if you don't know sendmail that well.

First, create a list of address translations, like this:

ds3721		daves
real_name	alias_name

making sure that the lefthand column is unique.

Then run 'makemap btree name_of_database < address_translation_list'.

In your /etc/sendmail.cf file, add the following

Kout btree /location_of_database/name_of_database

Moutbound_mailer,	P=[TCP], F=mDFMuX, S=12, R=22, A=IPC $h, E=\r\n

S12
# rewrite outbound (sender's) addresses to proper format
R$+<@$+>$*			$1 @
 $2$3				remove
canocalization, then
R$+ @
 stryder .
 com			$:$>31 $1 @
 stryder .
 com		rewrite if in
groups
R$+ @
 $*stryder .
 com		$ @
 $1<@$2stryder.com>		make canocical

S31
R$+ @
 stryder .
 com	$:$(out $1 $)
R$+		$:$1 @
 stryder .
 com

(for all you sendmail experts, it may be a little rought around the edges, but
its from
off the top of my head).

Hope it helps,
