You could change the masquerade directive, but if you change it in the
sendmail.cf it will be wiped out the next time you make that file.

Look at your sendmail.cf file for:

# who I masquerade as (null for no masquerading) (see also $=M)
DMmailserver.domain.com

I have a similar configuration to yours, and it was necesary to make the
machine that runs IMP be a dumb/slave client to the mailserver so that all
the listserv, and aliasing configurations remained centralized.  If you do
lots of this type of mailserver configuration, I suggest compiling a
sendmail.cf that hands all the mail to be sent over to your mailserver.

I do not build our sendmail.cf files, so I can't give you more info than
this.  And I can not get the details on the build for at least a week. So,
the masquerade directive could be a temporary fix.
