Umm, I assume that you mean something short of "switch to an MTA that
can be fairly easily configured by mere mortals, like Postfix"? :-)

I'm only half-joking, actually; with Postfix, fixing this is as simple
as tacking the following line onto your /etc/postfix/main.cf file:

myorigin = $mydomain

And then issuing this command, as root:

postfix reload

That sure beats fscking around inside sendmail.rc, doesn't it? ;-)
