I am not sure if this is exactly what you want, or if this is the correct
way to do it, but it works for me:

Added user to my virtuser table (and recreated database)
this user points to a non-system user, which I added to my /etc/aliases
This /etc/aliases user is like:
JCRTEST:	/var/spool/mail/JCRTEST

Then I created /var/spool/mail and chowned the directory to daemon:wheel
(who my sendmail runs as) and made it user and group writable.
