How do I change the envelope from address in sendmail

I'm having a hell of a time with send-pr.
Sendmail on my system insists on using the entire hostname in the from part of the
smtp communication: i.e. wmoran at machinename.potentialtech.com. This is a problem
because this particular machine doesn't have a real DNS name, so the FreeBSD mail
servers bounce the email.
I've tried creating a local-host-names file in /etc/mail according to some Linux
howtos I found, but it doesn't seem to be helping. What's the proper way to
get sendmail to use user at domain.com instead of user at machine.domain.com?
TIA
