If their usernames are unique, you can put them into a new
/etc/aliases.local file (see the archives for how to create such a file
and tell sendmail to use it).  However, if their usernames aren't unique
you should add them to /etc/virtusertable (read the archives for advice
on how to set up virtusertable after you make changes to it).  Any
changes to /etc/virtusertable should be made to the bottom.
