There's a basic problem to solve first if you aren't example.com 
yourself.  Normally mailers don't look at the local part (the user name) 
unless they are supposed to be accepting for the remote part (the 
host/domain name).  You'll have to configure sendmail to accept mail for 
example.com by adding it to the local-host-names file, then set up 
virtusertable entries to dispose of it all properly.
