It would be useful to know why it didn't work, whether it produced
errors, or what. We can't do telepathy with your server, Ben. And
although there are some very capable people on this list, remember the
GIGO rule... Garbage In, Garbage Out.

This is the virtusertable at work. On Sendmail 8.11.0, the file is
located in the /etc/mail directory.

Go there. Make a backup of the file. Now edit it, and add a line:

@domain1.com    [tab or tabs but no spaces]    %1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Save and exit, then type the following two commands:

makemap hash /etc/mail/virtusertable < /etc/mail/virtusertable
kill -HUP `head -n 1 /var/run/sendmail.pid`

The first line rebuilds the virtusertable database, the second restarts
sendmail. Note that the ` characters are BACKQUOTES; be careful about
this. You should now be hunky-dory.

I have a simple virtusertable file (created exclusively with
instructions from Jeff Lasman) which I can mail to you as an example if
you want it. I now understand it, but I created it blindly back then. :)
