Greg,

This is what I do to fix it:
#one line below
ls /home/sites/|awk -F '.' ' {if ($0 ~ /www/) {print $2"."$3}}' >>
/etc/mail/local-host-names

#one line below
ls /home/sites/|awk -F '.' ' {if ($0 ~ /www/) {print "mail."$2"."$3}}' >>
/etc/mail/local-host-names

#one line below
ls /home/sites/ |awk -F '.' ' {if ($0 ~ /www/) {print
"@"$2"."$3"\t%1@www."$2"."$3}}' > /tmp/newvirt

#one line below
ls /home/sites/ |awk -F '.' ' {if ($0 ~ /www/) {print
"@mail."$2"."$3"\t%1@www."$2"."$3}}' >> /tmp/newvirt


#copy the newvirt file to the route section of the /etc/mail/virtusertable
cat /tmp/newvirt
#copy the text displayed by the cat and after opening the virtusertable,
than manually paste it into the route section

pico -w /etc/mail/virtusertable

makemap hash /etc/mail/virtusertable < /etc/mail/virtusertable

/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail stop
killall -9 sendmail
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail start
