What is reported by tests command given below [executed as root]:
# show list of local email domains ($=w). Your bb hack works only for
# $=w domains. Is somedomain.biz listed?
echo '$=w' | sendmail -nt
# show which mailer/host/user are se;ected by sendmail for delivery
sendmail -bv "bb+consulting/ownit at somedomain.biz"
# show sendmail.cf processing (matching rules)
echo '3,0 bb+consulting/ownit at somedomain.biz" | sendmail -bt
# send test message in verbose mode
( echo "subject: test"; echo)| sendmail -v -oi "bb+consulting/ownit at somedomain.biz"
