Default Sendmail Root User

I have configured sendmail on RHEL-4, this machine will send email alerts when any link goes down on the network, when i recieve emails from this machine it shows root@localhost.localdomain, i want to change this so that to the recipient it should apear mail is received from say user@xyz.com instead of root@localhost.localdomain, any idea please.

Thanks in advance
