I don't think the configuration you've listed below does what
you think.

So, first off, what do you think it does, and what do you want
it to do?

- dnl # The following example makes mail from this host and any additional
- dnl # specified domains appear to be sent from mydomain.com
- dnl #
- MASQUERADE_AS(`nautilus.numenet.com')
- dnl #
- dnl # masquerade not just the headers, but the envelope as well
- dnl #
- FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)
- dnl #
- dnl # masquerade not just @mydomainalias.com, but @*.mydomainalias.com 
- as well
- dnl #
- dnl FEATURE(masquerade_entire_domain)dnl
- dnl #
- dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(localhost)dnl
- dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(localhost.localdomain)dnl
- dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(nautilus.numenet.com)dnl
- dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(nautilus.numenet.lan)dnl
- dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(lists.beatstream.net)dnl
- dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(lists.freespeechnow.org)dnl
- dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(lists.brilliantswarm.net)dnl
- dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(lists.stevebrownonboard.org)dnl
- dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(lists.mpjc.org)dnl

Now, to answer what this does: it converts all of the (theoretically
internal) domains (localhost, localhost.localdomain, nautilus.numenet.com,
natulius.numenet.lan, lists.beatstream.net, lists.billiantswarm.net,
lists.stevebrownonboard.org and lists.mpjc.org) into natutilus.numenet.com.

The relevant portions of the sendmail.cf README file:

        masquerade_entire_domain
                If masquerading is enabled (using MASQUERADE_AS)
                and MASQUERADE_DOMAIN (see below) is set, this
                feature will cause addresses to be rewritten such
                that the masquerading domains are actually entire
                domains to be hidden.  All hosts within the
                masquerading domains will be rewritten to the
                masquerade name (used in MASQUERADE_AS).  For
                example, if you have:

                        MASQUERADE_AS(`masq.com')
                        MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(`foo.org')
                        MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(`bar.com')

                then *foo.org and *bar.com are converted to masq.com.
                Without this feature, only foo.org and bar.com are
                masqueraded.

                    NOTE: only domains within your jurisdiction and
                    current hierarchy should be masqueraded using this.
