Greetings fellow monk ,
I'm sorry but i ( strangely ) don't have sendmail installed on my machine , but i do have a package and i gave a look at it to give you this help before the heavy cavalry arrive and solves this
I thought that sendmail , being an old program , and widely used , there must be a good documentation . In my package , there is no less than 12 man pages ... Among these , i might advise you to look at the 'aliases' , 'praliases' and 'newaliases' ( doing a 'man aliases' , and so on , on the command line ) . But also , certainly , if you don't find your heart's desire , try 'man sendmail' , there'll be certainly there directives to tell you where to look at ...
Tomorrow , i'll install on my machine ( i really don't know how come i don't have it ... ) , and i'll pass by to tell you more if nobody else showed up here .
In the meantime , good search in the man pages ...
the little one.

nehlwyn, thanks for your kind words. Actually I allready
scanned through sendmails and mails manpages,
had a quick view on some linux how-to's but while manpages
are quit helpfull for stuff one allready knows its pretty
hard to learn new stuff. Especially sendmail I view
as on of the more difficult beasts on Linux.
BTW, I am here on a Ethernet conected Workstation. I am almost
the only user of that machine, but the problem is "almost". So
its impossible to set the whole machine on my preferences. I
have to find a way to do it just for user Hanamaki.
Anyway my mail needs (Gnus) are quite satisfied and
I don't have the time to learn Sendmail at the moment.
nehlwyn, I am really thankfull for your kind offer, but I
think its no god idea to do things for other people (=me)
who are just to lazzy to research things by their own.
I anyone of the follow monks have a quick answer, because they
allready know the answer I am quit happy to listen to their
wisdom, but don't do the research I should do.
If I won't get an answer I probably will try a fix of the
cpantest script;
maybe plugging in something I know better like the "Net::SMTP" module.
For any good answers I will promise 50 (fifty) CPAN tests as
community service;-)
Hanamaki
