You can also do something like this in your virtusertable:

@mydomain.com  error:5.1.1:550 User unknown

Then, you won't need the bitbucket alias.
See http://www.sendmail.org/m4/features.html

Yes thanks, I tried that, the down side for me is that it sends a
"User Unknown" reject notification, which I'm trying to avoid.  I
don't want my server to waste time sending 10,000 rejects to a zombie
somewhere.

You have that backwards - it's much, much faster to send a '5xx' failure response in the SMTP conversation before accepting any data. Also, by accepting, you'll convince the sender that the addresses are legitimate and they'll end up on lists that are re-used for years - but it is probably already too late for that.
