we use virtusertables for that. The setup goes like this:

sendmail.mc:
...
FEATURE(virtusertable)dnl
VIRTUSER_DOMAIN_FILE(`/etc/mail/virtualdomains')dnl
...

Then you add all your domains in /etc/mail/virtualdomains (instead of 
/etc/mail/local-host-names) and put all your users in 
/etc/mail/virtusertable:

user at domain	user
...

At the the end you put something like this:

@domain   error:5.1.1:550 User unknown
