Sendmail will reject invalid recpipients in its local domains during the
SMTP session. It seems your setup is a MX that forward everything to
another machine (let's call it mailhost), else you woundln't accept
invalid recipients.

A possible way of dealing with that is to treat your domain as local on
the MX and have an alias table that forward the mail to mailhost. That
way your MX will not accept mail to an invalid recipient.
