It's your mailer that puts the outgoing alias in the headers.  Before I
upgraded to sendmail 8.7.x, my outgoing aliases were happily hidden.  Now
they are revealed and even following the directions in the FAQ (adding
trailing commas to the aliases) does no good.  What does work is modifying
the format of the Received: header in sendmail.cf.  Take out the 

?u for $u$

near the end of the HReceived: line.  Unfortunately this isn't really a
good solution because it changes things for every piece of mail going
through your system and disables an important problem-locating feature.  It
also assumes that you're the mail admin on your machine.
