I'm using sendmail's ldap_routing feature on my incomming server
to do mail-routing (and address-rewriting if needed) on a per user
basis. And I reject mail for unknown users with this feature at the
same time.
The documentation of the feature looks quite complicated, but it's
easy to use with local static tables instead of ldap-lookups.

Put something in your sendmail.mc file like:

LDAPROUTE_DOMAIN_FILE(`/etc/mail/mail-routing-domains')dnl
FEATURE(`ldap_routing', `hash  /etc/mail/mailhosts',
  `hash /etc/mail/mailroutingaddresses',
  `bounce',`preserve')dnl

and create a new sendmail.cf.
Create a file /etc/mail/mail-routing-domains that contains the name
of your domain (domain.com).
At last you must create two new hash tables:
-- /etc/mail/mailroutingaddresses containing:

   list at domain.com    list

-- /etc/mail/mailhosts containing:

   list at domain.com    localhost
   @domain.com        realserver.domain.com

This will do the job I guess. Maybe you can leave the mailroutingaddresses
table empty. But I'm not sure about that; you might create a loop by
doing so.
You don't need the mailertable anymore (at least not for this routing
problem) but you must keep the "list: user1 at domain1.com,user2 at gmail.com"
alias.

Kees.
