It is assumed that you are changing all of the address fields for all
OUTGOING mail (non-local).  Keeping in mind that the rule sets are
traversed thusly:

From_	3 -- 1 -- 4 -- 3 -- 1 -- S -- 4

To_	3 -- 0 -- 4

From:	3 -- 1 -- S -- 4

To:	3 -- 2 -- R -- 4

Cc:	3 -- 2 -- R -- 4


I'd make the changes in the S and R rule sets (however they are
defined for the particular mailer definition -- lines starting with
'M') so that you have control over when they are changed (I assume you
don't want to change them for locally originated and delivered mail...
if you do, just make the change in S1 and S2).

The problem is that you'd have to hard-code the transformations in the
sendmail.cf for each user you want transformed or modify the sendmail
program sources to do this.
