Well, here starts the more complicated part. For our solution, we
have written a custom mail delivery agent (MDA), which is used by
sendmail. In sendmail.cf we configured it like that:

Mlocal (more definitions) P=/opt/mailrelay/psender A=$h $f $u

This means, the local delivery (on the ISPs email-server) is done
by psender. psender gets the envelopes from ($f) und the envelopes
recipient ($u). psender adds two lines to the header:

from__ $f
for__ $u

I can see, that here you probably can't use an identical approach
- to much change and fiddle on your ISPs side :-(

We did it on a dedicated server and I forgot, that we also changed
the MDA, sorry.

Bye
