Buy "Bat" book from O'reiley for "semdmail" :-)  (I did and never read
it)

Seriously, use "exim" instead of "sendmail" and set /etc/email-addresses.

"exim" has same configuration file and it is default in Debian.

My perseption of MTA:

sendmail: one SUID daemon, cryptic configuration, old
exim: one SUID daemon, sane configuration, (new improved smail)

qmail: many small daemons for security minded, insane featues, old
postfix: many small daemons for security minded, sane featurs and easy
config, new
