Sorry, just saw this message...
If you want to support this, and its a small, trusted set of users,
you can get rid of this message by:
1) Adding the user(s) to /etc/mail/trusted-users
2) Adding FEATURE(`use_ct_file')dnl to *BOTH*
/etc/mail/sendmail.mc and /etc/mail/submit.mc
3) Remake {sendmail,submit}.mc (via make, sendmailconfig, m4, etc)
4) /etc/init.d/sendmail reload
You'd probably be best served by *NOT* overriding the sender, and instead
using masquerading to solve this type of problem - then you're much more
