instead of putting something like this into your virtusertable file:

jdoh@whatever.com	johnd

put this:

@whatever.com		johnd

Sendmail will evaluate all of the virtual users listed above the
'catch-all' alias first. So you can still have multiple accounts, and
then just an <anything>@whatever.com account forward to said user's
mailbox.
