Another way to handle this, if I'm understood your problem properly, is to set the MX record for all the hosts in the domain (ie all your workstations) to be the mail server host. That way, even if mail is sent from one workstation as user@workstation.domain.com, when someone replies to it the mail to workstation.domain.com will be routed to mailserver.domain.com. Then all you have to do is configure your mail server to receive mail for all the different workstations (I can help if its qmail, I don't know sendmail very well at all). If you're interested in this solution I can elucidate.
