sendmail:

1) When your domain is foobar.com add the entry "DMfoobar.com" to you
   /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

2) Then vi /etc/mail/aliases

    abuse: root
    root: hans

    Syntax: <alias>:<realuser>
    In this example mail for abuse@foobar.com is delivered to
    root@foobar.com and mail for root@foobar.com is delivered to
    hans@foobar.com

3)  vi /etc/mail/mailertable
    Syntax <localuser> <real email adress>
    Example: hans hans@foobar.com

    If your Server is called 123.foobar.com and a user called hans is
    sending a message from this host, the from adress gets changed from
    hans@123.foobar.com to hans@foobar.com.

4)  newaliases aliases.db aliases

5)  /usr/sbin/makemap -f hash /etc/mail/mailertable.new.db \
                < /etc/mail/mailertable;
   
6) /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail restart

With best regards

    Hans
