Yes.  Sendmail supports a mail filtering mechanism called "milter",
and there are several popular milter tools out there.

One of the milters which can do what you seem to need is:

Having said that, Postfix bundles a lot of the functionality of many
milters.  If you are happy with the way Postfix works, why do you have
to switch to Sendmail?

I'm a great fan of Sendmail myself, but if Postfix does what you want to
do, if you are more familiar with Postfix, and it will be much easier
for you to maintain a Postfix installation, it may be a good idea to use
Postfix :-)
