You can log *all* traffic into a single file by using the -X switch,
e.g.
sendmail -bd -q15m -X /var/log/sendmail.dump
From there, you can extract individual messages with a script. Note
that this will only log mail which is sent through the daemon. That
will be sufficient for a dedicated mail server, but not for a system
on which users have shell accounts.
Anything other than that is messy. The sendmail FAQ's contribution to
this topic is limited to the following:
[from http://www.sendmail.org/faq/section4.html#4.20 ]
Subject: Q4.20 -- How can I automatically copy messages based on
sender or recipient addresses?

It would require custom programming. You could either write a mail
filter using the new Milter API in sendmail 8.10 and later (see
libmilter/README) or you could look at some of these other unsupported
hints:
o Axel Reinhold's logall.c module
o Message-Id: <33AA593A.4B701C3F@syntegra.nl>
o the procmailrc man page
Note that no such feature has been added to sendmail. When asked about
this one of the sendmail developers said it was "because we still
believe a bit in privacy."
