You can't fix this from within sendmail.  That's why I wrote my
own mail11 gateways several years ago.  Anonymous ftp to cs.utk.edu,
dir readonly/mail11, files mail11d.tar and mail11.tar.

With my gateway, the return addresses on mail from a DECnet node look
like username@node.decnet, but you can configure this to be
username@node.anything-you-want (for the case where you have a
wildcard MX record for an entire DECnet).
