Ok want to good or bad first.

well its all bad...

rebuild the redhat.mc file as you indicated even with the sendmail-8.11.1
main site works fine.
first hosted site works fine.
all other hosted sites fail with MX errors.

so that tells me that its NOT

sendmail ~ binary
sendmail.cf

and that it could be the way cobalt use /etc/virtusertable file

and thats the file I am not happy with since its not the way I have things 
working on a Slakware box that had 100+ working MX'd sites

the bit i am not happy with is:-

# accept-email-at-domain routes
@titmarsh.org.uk        %1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
@sheringham.org.uk      %1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
@caberfeidh.co.uk       %1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


the first two lines are the one's that work  the last line is the site that 
dont work.

what is the %1 doing ???  I have never used that redirect in any other 
working site.  Seems its only used by Cobalt on their configs ?

I  feel that is the problem.
