     This could be done with sendmail 8.8.x. The m4-FEATURE to use ist
     `virtusertable'.

Or, you can use Qmail (www.qmail.org).  Virtual domains for mail are as easy as
editing a simple text file list....  Personally, I think Qmail is substantially
easier to configure than Sendmail, and much more secure.  (You don't even need
a separate mail proxy -- Qmail's smtpd effectively *is* a proxy!)  

Unless you really need some of the advanced features of Sendmail, take a close
look at Qmail....
