I found this on the sendmail site that explains what is going on but I dont 
think its working

A domain-specific form of aliasing, allowing multiple virtual domains to be 
hosted on one machine. For example, if the virtuser table contained:

        info@xxxxxxx foo-info
        info@xxxxxxx bar-info
        @baz.org jane@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

then mail addressed to info@xxxxxxx will be sent to the address foo-info, 
mail addressed to info@xxxxxxx will be delivered to bar-info, and mail 
addressed to anyone at baz.org will be sent to jane@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx The 
username from the original address is passed as %1 allowing:

        @foo.org %1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

meaning someone@xxxxxxx will be sent to someone@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

All the host names on the left hand side (foo.com, bar.com, and baz.org) 
must be in $=w. The default map definition is:
hash -o /etc/virtusertable

A new definition can be specified as the second argument of the FEATURE 
macro, such as

FEATURE(`virtusertable', `dbm -o /etc/mail/virtusers')
