I'm not up on my ancient sendmail, but I _thought_ you could say:

owner-kerberos: kerberos-request

in the aliases file and it would do the right thing, and sendmail did
this for a long time.  But I very well could be wrong; modern sendmail
is a mystical and arcane language, ancient sendmail even more so :-)
