LISTSERV will handle this reasonably well -- it sends back an "unknown list
FOOBAR" message if it gets mail for address FOOBAR and doesn't have such a
list.  We use a setup like what you're talking about -- but we do it with
Qmail, so I don't know the exact details of how you'd set up Sendmail for
this.  L-Soft has a Sendmail patch out to get all owner-* addresses sent to
LISTSERV, for probe processing ... maybe an edit of it would do what you
want?
