Virtual mailboxes


Hi,

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to create virtual mailboxes in sendmail where each mailbox does not require a linux user account? I know postfix can do it, as I read here:
http://www.postfix.org/VIRTUAL_README.html

However, unless I have missed something glaringly obvious, I carn't see any mention of it here:
http://www.sendmail.org/virtual-hosting.html

I dont realy want to have to create a user for each mailbox because
- It seems a bit heavy handed when I mau have 5 mailboxes
- I wonder how secure it is to have so many users floating around that dont realy need to be there

Is this a feature that sendmail lacks?


Thanks

Radam
