    In addition to fixing your routing problems mention in other posts...
    you can add the following option to sendmail.mc:

    define(`confDOMAIN_NAME', `mail.mydomain.tld')dnl

    Change mail.domain.tld to the FQDN of one of the IP's your want to use
    on the external interface (you mentioned you have two assigned). Just
    make sure the name you enter can be either looked up through DNS (both A
    and PTR records) or place an entry in your /etc/hosts file.

    You can also change sendmail's login message that is displayed. Same
    rules apply as above for the name used.

    define(`confSMTP_LOGIN_MSG', `mail.primary.tld')dnl
