It appears to me that you want to set up a "catch-all" e-mail account.
You'll could look into using a
virtualusertable seeing as you're using Sendmail.
Search google and the sendmail site for "catch all" and "virtualusertable" and you should find the information required to implement this.
Personally, I'd say if somebody sends e-mail to a non-existent address and it's bounced back, then that's a GoodThing(TM). At least that way the original sender knows they've hit a non existent mailbox, and would (if they're savvy) e-mail the postmaster (which'd probably end up being aliased to root anyway) asking for the correct e-mail address. My 2p....
BTW - Moxxx - Mutt is just a mail client. You cannot use Mutt for configuring sendmail! Mutt reads your e-mail, and lets you compose messages, reply, etc. Sendmail is a MTA, mutt definitely is not!

BUGS
None. Mutts have fleas, not bugs.
FLEAS
Suspend/resume while editing a file with an external editor does not work under SunOS 4.x if you use the curses lib in /usr/5lib. It does
work with the S-Lang library, however.
Resizing the screen while using an external pager causes Mutt to go haywire on some systems.
suspend/resume does not work under Ultrix.
The help line for the index menu is not updated if you change the bindings for one of the functions listed while Mutt is running.
For a more up-to-date list of bugs, errm, fleas, please visit the mutt project's bug tracking system under http://bugs.guug.de/. To report
a bug, please use the flea(1) program.
