You can put:
set [EMAIL PROTECTED]
into your ~/.muttrc which should help, but yes, the general solution
is to use sendmail's Masquerade feature.
In one attempt to get things working, I edited freebsd.mc in a couple of
places. I defined 'SMART_HOST' as my isp, and included a line
MASQUERADE_AS('socal.rr.com'). I did make cf, and make install. After
running sendmail -q it gives me an error message in sendmail.cf line
66: unknown configuration line \n
MASQUERADE_AS('socal.rr.com') dnl
dnl Dialup users should uncomment and define this appropriately
define(`SMART_HOST', `smtp-server.socal.rr.com') dnl
Hmmm.. Try this in your `hostname`.mc. Don't leave a space before the
'dnl' after those entries, and make sure you get the quoting right.
With m4(1) you need to use quotes like `this', not like 'this':
MASQUERADE_AS(`socal.rr.com')dnl
define(`SMART_HOST', `smtp-server.socal.rr.com')dnl
In case your screen font doesn't make the distinction clear, the first
quote mark ` is character 96, and the second quote mark ' is character
39 -- see ascii(7) for the whole table.
Cheers,
Matthew

I found that following these instructions helped:

I used ee editor to go to line 66 and deleted what was apparently blank.
Now when I run sendmail -q it's as though nothing occurs, I don't even
get a mail message telling me my email was rejected.
How can I remove fuzz from my address? Dynamite? I have very little hair
left, and this day has been really rough on what is left. It's being
ripped out in big chunks. Sendmail documentation seems to be setup for
server configuration. I have not been able to find anything for a
standalone desktop that answers these questions. I've spent two days
studying about and configuring mutt. Should I just stick with kmail?
Thanks, I really needed to vent!
