This is not sendmail doing this, but your local delivery agent. We currently use an LMTP aware mail store [actually several] that are located on a different system. The mail store, in turn allows me to distribute users across multiple filesystems [using a hashed distribution of mailboxes]... finally each "mailbox" is a collection of directories (i.e. folders) and files (i.e. messages). And the whole thing is easily accessible via IMAP or POP (though we are no longer using POP).
