Of course sendmail lets you do this (in fact, there's very little that
sendmail doesn't let you do; the main reason for the complexity of its
configuration is that it has to be able to cope with just about
anything one might possibly want to do with it).
Sendmail doesn't care less if the username is in /etc/passwd unless
you tell it to (via the `w' flag in the mailer definition). It just
passes the message to the specified delivery agent. Of course, some
delivery agents may only be able to deliver to valid accounts,
although procmail doesn't have this restriction (again, you can make
it so through configuration).
