You can use FEATURE(`delay_checks') in your sendmail.mc to avoid this.
Delay_checks delays all checks until AFTER the RCPT TO: command.  This also
has the added benefit of allowing you to see who the message was meant for,
and who it was sent from.

Then, in your access db, put a line like

To:postmaster@domain.com    OK

The only thing I wonder is how I can do a wildcard domain to make ALL domain
postmaster and abuse addy's accept, regardless of DNSBL listing.

Would

To:abuse@        OK
To:postmaster@   OK

Work?  I haven't dealved that much into it.
