Sorry I wasn't clearer...when I send mail to that user from an external account (in this case my gmail account) I get the "user unknown" error from sendmail.

Still not a dovecot issue. It is your MTA that is at fault, or its configuration.
To phrase Scott's answer differently:
sendmail does not use the Dovecot framework to authentificate or validate users (unfortunately). Therefore you have to configure sendmail to use the same user DB or forward (alias) your users via a special MDA line.
