You should be doing some sort of recipient validation at the MTA level and rejecting mail to non-existent accounts. This will save you a bunch of cpu cycles by not having to virus scan and spam filter all of those bogus e-mails.
I run postfix, and have never run sendmail, so I can't tell you how to do this, but I have no doubt that sendmail supports recipient validation. Look to the sendmail documentation on how to do this.
