since I didn't get a solution by posting locally i am posting
globally.


I want a very very simple, dumb (perhaps retarded) sendmail.cf file
that will take ALL mail sent from a machine ( say machine-STUPID ) and
give it to a machine called machine-SMART. I want the mail that leaves
machine-SMART to actually leave machine-SMART as if it was sent by
someone who was logged into machine-SMART.... 
so, if you pretend that one machine is  machine_STUPID.hereville.edu
and the other is machine_SMART.hereville.edu and a user uses mail to
send mail while on machine_STUPID, then the mail will really get sent
to machine_SMART where it is RESENT so that the world thinks it is
coming directly from   user@machine_SMART.hereville.edu
So, all the complicated sendmail stuff will be in the sendmail.cf file
on machine_SMART, but what should be in the sendmail.cf for machine_STUPID?

i'm thinking that something as short as the following should be all
that is required! does anyone have any suggestions?

# official host domain
DDhereville.edu
# hostname for this site
Dwmachine_STUPID
# ST-Mail relay
DGmachine_SMART.hereville.edu
