This is what the virtusertable feature is for.  What version of sendmail
are you running?  I recommend 8.9.1.  Have a look at the sendmail FAQ:

http://www.moongroup.com/unix/sendmail/index.html

and the instructions on virtual hosting:

If you need additional help we have a mailing list available.  It's just
getting started but there are people there who have done what you need
help with:

Sometimes I wonder if I'm in my right mind.  Then it passes off and I'm
as intelligent as ever.
