    Roumen,

    I think you need to bind sendmail to the specific address you wish. I
    haven't tried this personally, but I think it will work:

    Try the following option in your sendmail.mc file.

    DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Name=MTA, Addr=x.x.x.x, Port=smtp)
        (specify the appropriate name and address)

    Rebuild your sendmail.cf and stop and restart the daemon

    Hope this helps.

    -Jim
