Any hints or suggestions? Thanks in advance.

* Does your virtusertable use only TABS and no spaces? It doesn't like spaces.

* Have you rehashed the virtusertable?
        makemap hash /etc/mail/virtusertable < /etc/mail/virtusertable

You don't need to restart sendmail after modifying either the access file or the virtusertable. You only need to rehash them.
