Check out 'nocanonify'.

Yes; it is unusual to try to get sendmail to do per-user routing.
If I *had* to do this (I'd find an alternative) I would think about:

- aliasing all co-workers to 'co-worker@domain'
- aliasing myself to 'myself@myhost.domain'
- making sure mail to @domain is sent via UUCP
- making sure mail to @myhost.domain is delivered locally

(i.e. give up on having your mail be 'myself@domain'.)

I'm not sure that it is ...
