Ehmmm....

So then don't create any aliases?

MIMEDefang is not responsible for delivering mail.  It's responsible
for filtering it.  Sendmail is responsible for delivering it.  It's
possible to muck up that separation of duties by adding/deleting recipients,
but it really sounds messy.  Why are you trying to do it that way?
