Hi Julian,

Have you also tried sending email from a non-root account?  The root
user is "exposed" by default in Sendmail.  This means that the root user
will *NOT* be masqueraded or remapped through genericstable.  You can
see that the root user is exposed by looking at the {E} class:

    gothmog:/etc/mail# grep '{E}' sendmail.cf
    C{E}root

Try sending email from a different local user or remove the root user
from the {E} class (by manually editing sendmail.cf and restarting
Sendmail).
