Substitute the line in your sendmail.cf file that looks like this:
                                                                         
Mlocal,	P=/bin/mail, F=rlsDFmn, S=10, R=10, A=mail -d $u
                                                                         
with the following line:
                                                                         
Mlocal,	P=/bin/mail, F=lsDFmn, S=10, R=10, A=mail -r $f -d $u
                                                                         
Then kill your sendmail process, re-freeze your sendmail configuration
file with /usr/lib/sendmail -bz, and re-start sendmail.
