After digging through the only documentation for sendmail I could
find online (the code - and I don't recommend it).  I found that
adding:

    define(`confCLIENT_OPTIONS', `Address=0.0.0.0, Modifiers=h')dnl

to the machine.mc file has the effect of putting the name
associated with the local address of the socket connected to
the smtp server in the helo/ehlo message.
This is ok for sendmail 8.11.6 (as in the netbsd tree), 8.12.*
might be more complicated.

Of course if there is NAT in the way all bets are off :-)
