Sendmail was acquired last October by Proofpoint. So far, I haven't
seen much impact and Sendmail, Inc. was commercial before that
supporting Opensource as well. One of the "good" examples of a company
built on open source that seems to do a good job of supporting the
community and still keeping the lights on.
I'm not aware of a "full name" option (doesn't mean it doesn't exist)
but you could add a file called virtusertable and put in a line that
routes the alias to your local account such as:
ben.kamen at benjammin.net \bkamen
Then compile it, etc.
Your sendmail.mc will need something like this line which activates the
feature and tells it the hash is in /etc/mail/virtusertable.db
FEATURE(`virtusertable',`hash -o /etc/mail/virtusertable')dnl
