I have sendmail and procmail is my MDA on one of my machines.  I'm hosting

Now, I want to forward on message sent to admin(_at_)foo(_dot_)com to one 
person (on
another domain),  webmaster(_at_)foo(_dot_)com to someone else, and so on.  
Basically,
create mail aliases.[1]

I set and X-Envelope-To:, and then I use that to match the domain's valid
address and forward onto the right person.  For example:

    # -- (Webmaster: Bill Moseley )
    : 0
    * ^X-Envelope-To:.*webmaster
    ! moseley(_at_)hank(_dot_)org

Simple enough.

The problem is bounces.  If moseley(_at_)hank(_dot_)org is a bad address the 
bounce
comes back to "foo" on this machine, not back to the *original* sender. 

You're trying to swat a fly with a hammer. Far easier to use sendmail's
virtusertable feature to redirect user(_at_)foo(_dot_)com to the proper person.
