Any recent sendmail (certainly 8.0+) should be able to do this, if you use
a V2 or above configuration file.
The example below could be a different ruleset which you could call from
elsewhere. I also assume here that your general rules don't want a dot on
the end, but if they do simply add that on the end of the second line for
returning.
# This line makes the address canonical
R$+@$+ $:$1@$[$2$]
# If the address was valid, it has a dot on the end, so return without it
R$+@$+. $@$1@$2
# Otherwise it couldn't be resolved, so bounce it.
R$+@$+ $#error $: Erm, $2 is not a known domain
I'm not sure what happens if your sendmail cannot resolve the address at
that time - I would imagine it would bounce it. Use it at your own risk!
Hope that made some sense!
Best Wishes
