I had the same exact problem until this afternoon.

The way I solved it (I took a stab, but with the help of tech support) was 
to make sure Sendmail is passing  the intended user name to the actual 
assigned mail server. Here is an example of how I made it work:

# This file is automatically generated
# Please put custom changes at the end
# Cobalt Networks 1998

user1@xxxxxxxxxxxx      user_1
user2@xxxxxxxxxxxx      user_2
@mail.xyz.net             user_1

# accept-email-at-domain routes
@abc.com        %1@xxxxxxxxxxxx
@abc.net        %1@xxxxxxxxxxxx

Where mail.xyz.net is a virtual site on the machine and all users are 
assigned under the site mail.xyz.net. In addition, I also have MX records 
for abc.com and abc.net to point to mail.xyz.net. Finally, I also have 
abc.com, abc.net and xyz.net set as valid domains to accept e-mail for (in 
E-mail server parameters).

Good luck!
