I don't know what docs are telling you to edit sendmail.cf directly, but the
proper way to fix your problem is to add...

MASQUERADE_AS(`mydomain.com')dnl

to /etc/mail/sendmail.mc and then generate a new sendmail.cf using m4

cd /etc/mail
cp sendmail.cf sendmail.cf.orig
m4 sendmail.mc >sendmail.cf

BTW: As nate pointed out in his reply - it's DM, not DN. Also, the sendmail
man pages (so to speak) are located in /usr/share/sendmail-cf/README. There
is a section labeled "MASQUERADING AND RELAYING" that might be of some
interest to you.
