You have two possibilities:

(1) Have your local mailer replace the From: lines. Our mailer, for
example, replaces all From: [email-masked] lines by
From: [email-masked].

(2) Make your users insert a customized header From: generic-address
(while viewing this message, press H Header mode to see my From: line).

Normally, setting a mailname for the user in sendmail's userdb file
should do the trick -- but only if the mailer doesn't fully-qualify
the sender's From address.
However, there is no way (short of changing source code) to prevent
pine from fully-qualifying the sender's From address.  I'm trying to
work out a way to make sendmail deal with this (de-qualify the name
before userdb lookup), but I'm no sendmail expert.
