Yes, But why?  You should be able to use any registered domainname as
long as you are using BellSouth's mailservers as "smart hosts" within
you sendmail config.

Back to your question.... In Sendmail, you want masquerading.  Basically
you can do stuff like this in sendmail.mc:

   define(`confDOMAIN_NAME', `<your_domainname>')
   FEATURE(masquerade_entire_domain)
   FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)

Don't forget to recompile the .mc into .cf.
