hiding my network with sendmail.cf?

I have just started reading this news group. Can anyone tell
me what the purpose of this news group is? 

Is the sendmail.cf file mentioned in various articles the
same as the one employed in the Sun Microsystem's Unix?
(I think it might be since the Sun mailer is based on the
Berkeley Unix mailer.) With this assumption in mind, I ask
the following question:

I have dozens of workstations in house which route mail
through a node called 'sirius', which is my mailhost and
uucp/usenet gateway to Dartmouth. When I am on my workstation,
called neptune, I can send mail over uucp, no problem.

But when my mail is received by the person addressed in the letter,
I want the header to read "...!dartvax!sirius!tba", not
"...!dartvax!sirius!neptune!tba".

Everyone with an account on our network has a yellow page
alias which aliases that person to "persion@sirius", and
all workstations have mounted /usr/spool/mail via NFS,  so
if someone replies to "...!dartvax!sirius!tba", I will get
it on my machine "neptune".

How can I modify sendmail.cf to hide my network? I think that it
is done with the macros in the sendmail.cf, but the Sun
documentation is V_E_R_Y limited.

Thanks in advance to anyone that replies.
