Sorry, last I checked, there is no sender-based routing support in sendmail. You cannot even try to create rulesets to get that.
Looks like it is my turn to eat humble pie. You will need to rebuild sendmail.cf after applying this hack.

While this does look promising I am hesitant to install anything that is either a) possibly version dependent and b) beyond my understanding as to what it is doing. I will have to review this thoroughly before I even consider implementing it.
I have not tested it let alone tried on 8.14.x
Caveat noted.
I cannot believe the file is dated 2004. Ah well, I got rid of sendmail and replaced it with postfix in 2003 while I was still a mail admin. I must bow to the real sendmail bigots.
Mail administration is just one of those "little" jobs that I am responsible for and I just have not had the time to review/learn a new MTA so I muddle on with the "devil I know".
I'm certainly not going to throw stones at this philosophy, but I will suggest that you reconsider in this case. I'm not really a mail guru, or even that much of a mail admin, but I switched to Postfix about 3 years ago, and I have to say that the learning curve is a LOT less challenging than Sendmail ever was for me. I became "productive" with Postfix in less than a week, mostly because the documentation is a lot better, as well as the config files are readable by the average computer-literate humanoid. I suggest that you give it some thought.
My $0.02 (US) worth. ;>
Thanks for your suggestion it has definitely given me something to think on and possibly work with.
