If you add the -t argument for sendmail it will get you started.
Won't work all that well though since the envelope to has
already been stripped.  Mailing lists and bcc's won't have
a usable To: address.

You'll need to add procmail as your local delivery agent and
use a big system wide procmailrc file to guess where mail
should really go.

If you only have a couple users and they don't subscribe to
a lot of lists it might be workable.

Better would be to have your ISP queue your mail for UUCP
delivery or make you primary MX for your domain and queue
for SMTP delivery.  In the latter case you would issue an
ETRN command to the ISP's mail server periodically to dequeue.
