Actually, sendmail 8.7.1 (just out) has a great way to do this. The 
problem with aliases is you can't have domain names on it. It only works 
for local users (accounts on the machine). The sendmail 8.7.1 approach is 
pretty easy to set up and works very well. I'm sure there's no binaries 
for 8.7.1 available for BSDI, so get the code and compile it up.
