Well, the domain part is easy.. just put:

DMissho.org

into the sendmail.cf on your master mail server, and have all the macs/PCs
relay mail through that server.

The 'info' part is a bit trickier - you could have them all send out the
mail as 'info' from their own machine, and then your server would rewrite
the domain portion... but there's probably a way to have sendmail rewrite
the username portion as well, although I'm not sure why you'd want
sendmail to arbitrarily rewrite all outgoing mail as 'info@example.com' :)
