<personal opinion>
Get rid of sendmail ASAP.  Install something like exim or qmail.  Exim makes
virtual domains almost trivial.

There's an easy kludge, at least:  Install procmail.  Put an alias in
/etc/aliases for every account that has to be "shared".  Set up that alias to
pipe the message through a specific procmailrc.  Have that procmailrc
distribute the mail where it's supposed to go.

Alternatively, I believe the URL you mention explains how to do it with
sendmail.  Not that I've ever tried, or am ever likely to.  :-)
