You belive can achieve that by editing the file
/etc/mail/virtusertable
put 2 entries there:
@first_source.com @first_dest.com
@second_source.com @second_dest.com

after that cd to /etc/mail
and do: make
or
restart the sendmail service with
service sendmail restart
Note that putting these entries in
/etc/mail/virtusertable means that you're gonna need dns server that "knows" about source and destination domains.

Since in DNS certain mail server will be responsible for getting e-mails for certain domain (MX record) -it's good enough.

You can use sendmail mailertable. In /etc/mail/mailertable add:

domain1.com smtp:server1.domain.com
domain2.com smtp:server2.domain.com

Specify the FQDN instead of the ip address, or use:

domain1.com smtp:[192.168.1.1]
domain2.com smtp:[192.168.2.100]
