It looks like you will need to masquerade your internal email addresses
as they pass through your linux box. Read the readme file in /usr/doc/sendmail
for help on this, presuming you have it, I run Slackware. You need to write
a sendmail.mc file and run m4 on it to create a sendmail.cf file.

You could directly edit the sendmail.cf file. 

Make sure that your Win95 boxes use the gateway machine as a relay. I 
had a problem when my K6 machine, which accesses demon via my gateway machine 
send mail out directly, avoiding sendmail on the gateway, thus mail was
not masqueraded.

I hope that this is coherent as it is rather late. :-)

I hope this is what you wanted.
