procmail.

I'm assuming that you're not doing this for all users without real
accounts, as otherwise the easiest solution is to *not* use LUSER_RELAY.

If it does server some purpose at your site, then the thing to do is
have procmail tell sendmail that this address is for an unknown user:

:0
* some conditions that indicate that this is an unknown user
{
    # EX_NOUSER=67 from sysexits.h
    EXITCODE = 67

    # Stop processing this .procmailrc.  Note that if this procmailrc is
    # not the last on the procmail's command line than this won't work.
    # You should comment it out and instead use the rule that immeadiately
    # follows.  Unsetting the HOST variable is faster for those circumstances
    # where it works.
    HOST

    :0 h
    /dev/null
}
