No problem:
Either edit /etc/sendmail.cf and chnage the 'Cw' line to read:
Cwlocalhost csosl.co.uk ccg.co.uk,
or do something similar in your .mc file (if youre doing anything
non trivial, any sane person will go into src/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf
and use a .mc file to generate their .cf
Quick check is to 'mail -v addr' to see what sendmail thinks
afterwards. Remember to restart the sendmail daemon to pick
up the changes for incoming mail.

Rewriting outgoing mail, or just aliases for incoming?
Incoming aliases:
edit /etc/aliases and add lines of the form
from: to
(to can be an external address, ie
anne: a.n.other@somwhere.else
The run 'newaliases'.
Rewriting outgoing mail is more fun - never wanted to do it
myself, but I'm sure someone else who has can help?

Probably a specific sendmail list or newsgroup would be better,
or netbsd-help if you want to be asking netbsd people :)
