I manage a mail server with Sendmail/Dovecot/Procmail on OpenBSD.
The business owner asked for the same thing.  My solution was to
add the "synonym" milter to sendmail.  It has worked flawlessly
for over a year.  I use rsync each night to copy the archived files
off to a file server for tape backup.

I just checked and synonym does not appear to be in Portage, but
adding it to sendmail isn't difficult.  Mail me if you need help.
