I think you want sendmail to 'masquerade' as *.yourisp.com, correct?

I used to do that with my @home.com account.  So, I could send mail out 
from my home network, vi sendmail, and the mail.home.com server would
relay it.

I got this configured first by using an "install-sendmail' script I 
found here:

It may not on OpenBSD, but you should be able to look at what it does 
and figure it out.
