I think what you are seeking to do is described here:

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.1-Manual/ref-guide/s1-sendmail-changes.html

It allows your local machines on the network to have the hostnames 
stripped from the domain part of the email address as it passes through 
the server.

Kind regards
