[cobalt-users] Strange problem with virtusertable, cant see anything wrong.

[Andrew Lyon <Administrator@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I recently got a RaQ3 server, I have added a couple of sites, but I have
already run into problems with /etc/virtusertable, I have used makemap to
update /etc/virtusertable.db, it all looks fine to me but still sendmail
refuses to map certain addresses.

Using sendmail -bt I check if email addresses test ok:

ADDRESS TEST MODE (ruleset 3 NOT automatically invoked)
Enter <ruleset> <address>
> /map virtuser me@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
map_lookup: virtuser (me@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) no match (0)
> /map virtuser me@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
map_lookup: virtuser (me@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) returns alane (0)

Both should test ok, in my /etc/virtusertable.db I have:

# This file is automatically generated
# Please put custom changes at the end
# Cobalt Networks 1998

andrew.lane@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx       alane
alane@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx     alane
me@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx        alane

# accept-email-at-domain routes
@reuben-solace.com      %1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

# catch-all aliases
@www.reuben-solace.com  error:nouser No such user here

The line @reuben-solace.com      %1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, should make
sendmail try me@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx when it receives email for
me@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, but it seems to be ignoring this line completely.

I updated the db with makemap hash /etc/virtusertable.db </etc/virtusertable

Have I done something wrong ?
