Subject: OT: Configuring sendmail not to reveal internal hostnames

As the subject says, this is OT. I apologize.

I'm searching for a means by which I can tell sendmail to expose the
host names of local computers on our network. The computers are named
after the users they are associated with so that reveals a lot to folks
in the outside world. Anyone know of a means to disable this? I just
want to disable the reverse lookup.

Thanks!
