Well, you can hack the sendmail.cf to do it. At WSU, we used amd symlinks to do it. It was far more general, since we used the same thing for user's HTML and CGI to support their own home pages, and also to make "/home" look the same on all machines, but move accounts between partitions as space dictated, without having to change the NIS maps inside the secure zone from /home/username. Very useful. Be careful if you NFS cross-mount some home directories to distribute users among systems (we did that, too, but we made xdm log them into whatever their home machine was by default, so we didn't have NFS access problems with the mail).
