No, not with sendmail.  You need to manually create these aliases from 
within the sendmail aliases file.  This is *usually* /etc/aliases.  Check 
your specific configuration to be sure.  You may also need to rebuild the 
alias database once you edit this file.  With sendmail you can issue the 
`newaliases` command.
