Well, to be honest sendmail equires such gross hacking to make it do thism
i'd probably switch to postfix before bothering as postfix has all the
necessary support built right in, just add the domain name to a fil and it
knows it's virtual...

Some random links....this has kind of been a low priority project...

sendmail; delivery
supposedy hackable to deliver to spool/domain/user

Needs also, slight variation on this to use procmail (makes *@domain
local)

and stickyhost so aliased domains will actually be accepted and not
relayed

[sendmail requires MUCH much more hacking than just that , that's only
the first step ;]

ps: To the list, don't even THINK about using any of these patches on a
Raq....
