I am still working on this issue. However I have found that if you edit the
file /etc/mail/local-host-names
from
www.virtualdomain.com

to

www.virtualdomain.com
virtualdomain.com

It will allow  sendmail to accept mail for the virtual site.

However Istill can not get the global aliase @www.virtualdomain.com working

Any ideas ?
