Have you read the 'bat' book for SendMail? - it'll give you an idea of the complexities of address rewriting.
In all fairness, sendmail's address rewriting capabilities date to a time before TCP/IP was the lingua franca, and address rewriting was a real hell; sendmail's job was to understand every possible address format, and many of them are obsolete today, so you can get by with a smaller set; it's still daunting, but you don't have to support everything sendmail does (especially what's in the bat book, which is pretty old).
