Thanks, Neil.I've been using sendmail.cf and ruleset 98 for a long time; I finally found the keyword in the man page for makemap:
sendmail(8). It reads input from the standard input and outputs them to the indicated mapname.
I'd missed that, seeing only the synopsis line:
SYNOPSIS
makemap [-N] [-d] [-f] [-o] [-r] [-s] [-v] maptype mapname
I'm now a firm believer that all man pages will include a few usage samples <wry grin>.

That's because you didn't add the < /etc/virtusertable on the end. If you type the complete line as: [root /etc]# makemap hash /etc/virtusertable < /etc/virtusertable [root /etc]# Nothing will visibily appear to happen, but the files WILL update. --Neil
