You can pass an argument to sendmail to accomplish this.

mailcmd=/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -fsrc at address.com
serveremail=src at address.com

note there is no space between -f and src at address.com (I'm not sure if 
this really matters or not).

The sendmail arg will make sure bounces go to src at address.com, and 
serveremail will make sure your From address is displayed nicely to the 
recipient.
