Hello Joe,

Yes, this is possible. Use a sendmail.cw file to include the domains you
handle mail for. Then use a virtusertable file to map users@domains to
local users (or to other.users@other.domains too, for that matter...)
(Tip: you cannot use one row in a virtusertable to map to several other
users. You need a traditional alias for this).

Please see the file /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf/README for further
reading.

Regards,
Palle
