Perhaps I'm completely off track, and it's not masquerading that I
need.  The problem is that the smarthost will not accept mail for
delivery unless I set masquerading.  This may be a perversion of what
masqerading is meant to accomplish, but it's the only way I've found
to have /bin/mail send mail through the smarthost.

    AD> date | /usr/lib/sendmail -v friends_email at anywhere.com

With masquerading set the message is sent and I get the following
output:

[jorge at satyr jorge]$  date | /usr/lib/sendmail -v
friends_email at anywhere.com
friends_email at anywhere.com... Connecting to [127.0.0.1] via relay...

With masquerading unset, I get the exact same output, but the message
bounces immediately with this error:

>>> MAIL From:<jorge at satyr.bogus.jl> SIZE=334 AUTH=<>
<<< 553 satyr.bogus.jl does not exist
501 5.6.0 Data format error

Am I leaving an open relay or anything by setting masquerading like
this?  I haven't found how else to get /bin/mail through.

Yes, I have Evolution set to deliver to sendmail.

Okay, I set masquerading to jorge.cc, and it works fine.  The point
is, I can't use the smarthost without masquerading to something.

(satyr.bogus.jl is my bogus FQDN.)
