It's not that simple...

sendmail can't look inside the "", it's one token...

Look at a: strings dnimaild | grep sendmail
you'll see something like: /usr/lib/sendmail: -oem -oi -f"%s!%s"

I think there's no clean solution to solve it without the source code so 
what I did was to patch dnimaild and let it a call a shell script I wrote
instead of sendmail. In the script you can rewrite the drecnet adresses 
to anything you want before it calls sendmail...

(don't forget to rewrite both From: and the envelope adres (the -f option)
