I'm slightly confused.  You want all mail that is being sent from wiseguy
to slick to be redirected to darin?  This has procmail written all over
it.

On a side note, alias does not check to see if the user exists or not.  An
alias can also represent a distribution list as well:

all: user1,usr2,usr3,darin,etc
slick: darin

For example, the user postmaster doesn't exist, but alias just re-routes
it to root, or whomever is listed to receive the messages.

The only thing is that you're now requesting that sendmail analyze who the
mail is being delivered from.  This majorly falls into the procmail area.
