I'm sorry to hear that.  sendmail may be the last app that I would ever 
run.  But you do have the (thick O'Reilly) book don't you?

You didn't say, but I assume you want it to say evan at illinois.example.com.

The way I read it, you've told sendmail to do exactly what it's doing. 
So try taking illinois.example.com out of the local-hosts-file.  If the 
mail then arrives the way you want you can adjust the file, or remove 
the MASQUERADE_AS line.

Is that at all close?
