You can change your sendmail.cf to disalow sending of messages that have the from field indicated with the -f tag (i.e. a manually specified "from"), and you can set up your spam filters to disalow any mail that has a from field set with a -f tag.

Also, you can stop bounces from happening by editing your deliminators in the Scheck_rcpt section of sendmail.cf so that R$* @ $* @ $* returns an error code. Anything that is "someone colon at someplace at someplace.com" bounces thru your sendmail and gets sent, looking like it came from you.

I was gonna post a good clip of my sendmail.cf file here, but the lameness filter got it first - so here's a link: sendmail.txt. Just don't pound the server too hard, the load balencing's a little off.

Gotta agree, their support is terrible. I have several domains hosted there that were down for the better part of a week due to an apache configuration error. It took half a dozen emails to get the problem looked into. They are very security minded, and don't support telnet or ftp access. (Not a problem for me). On the up side, they are cheap, but I don't think you'll get 5GB / month from a vhost like csoft, my pages there have been running mighty slow lately. Here is a link to an outfit that'll set you up with a dedicated server for $100 / month with unlimited bandwidth Netmar.com.
