Just for the record, Steve, useradd adds records to "/etc/group", to
"/etc/passwd", and to "/etc/shadow".  It doesn't do a thing to
sendmail.  If you were adding things manually, you'd still need to add a
record to "/etc/mail/virtusertable" to set up the delivery rules.

Many of us solve this "problem" by writing our own "adduser" (the
default "adduser" installed with Red Hat linux is simply a link to
"useradd"); a script to call "useradd" with all the right options, and
then to do all the other required work.
