Let me get this straight:

1. You want the email "From" to look like this:

pippo@hostname

Is that what you want?

2. I can tell you how to do this:

pippo@mydomain.com

That is called "site hiding", and you get it by doing this:

vi sendmail.cf
Set:
DMdomain.com
Unset:
CE root

/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop; /sbin/init.d/sendmail start

does that help?

Stuart has the right idea. This will change it for all users sending email.
If you want to be more flexible, use the user.db functionality.
This will allow you make changes per each user.
pippo@hostname.mydomane.com can become
Claudio@mydomane.com.
1) Uncomment the user.db line in sendmail.cf
2) Create a file /etc/mail/userdb with entries:
pippo:mailname Claudio@mydomane.com
Claudio:maildrop pippo

The first line changes outgoing mail from pippo and the second line allows return email to Claudio to be forwarded to pippo's account.

3)Compile this text file:
# makemap btree ./userdb.db < ./userdb

4)Restart sendmail
# killsm
# /sbin/init.d/sendmail start

You could...

Change
Dj$w.mydomane.com

to

Djmydomane.com

You could make sure the hostname.mydomain.com entries actually resolve at least on Internal DNS servers, preferably on both.

If your host name in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf is hostname.mydomain.com and you have DNS resolution on that name inside and out, you will accomplish your goal.
