	POP3 certainly won't stop you.  For example, you can have
	an entry in your virtusertable (assuming you compiled
	sendmail with that feature; I don't think it's default
	yet) such as:

@mydomain.com	mydomain@freebsd.org

	and then the company in question will retreive the mail
	via POP and sort it out somehow on their end.  I've heard
	of a number of people doing this with such packages as
	Eudora Pro, but I haven't tried it myself.

	If you want to get semi-seriously into sendmail hacking
	then there are -- in theory -- a number of ways you
	could accomplish something like this.  I think the book
	_Sendmail Theory & Practice_ has some info on it, but
	mine's packed up in a box right now (I just moved to
	California, yay!) so I'm not certain.
