You can use "sendmail -bv", which isn't quite the same of course, ...

I wasn't suggesting not defining a transport entry, I was merely
suggesting you should drop the "nexthop".
transport:
s...@m0.rg.net local
Though, I do in fact generally prefer per-user rewriting over per-user
transport tables, so using virtual(5) to rewrite to a local address is
here better aligned with my view of best practice.
