Ah, hmmmm.  Let me see if I understand this:

Mail from dk@example.com to kov@example.com == "From: dk@example.com"
Mail from dk@example.com to dmytro.kovalev@example.com == "From: dk@example.com"

(really "localhostname"?)

Right?

Looks like we're halfway there.  The username is correctly specified as
"dk", now we need to convince sendmail to rewrite the headers a little
bit.

What does your sendmail.mc (the bit that generated the .cf) look like?
