I would do that from a .courier or .mailfilter file rather than an alias.

I had to do something similar for almost the exact same reason.  In my 
case, I also needed to change the info in the From and To headers before 
the email would go through.  I wrote a small Perl script to modify the 
message and re-submit it to the server.

The user's .mailfilter delivery line looks like this:

to "| /home/mailuser/sendtext.pl"

There are also a few checks in there to filter out any non-local mail 
that might find its way to the mailbox.

If you don't need to change the existing email headers, you could use 
your sendmail line from above in place of the perl script.
