The virtusertable is the text file you add your mappings to. The format is:

username@virtualdomain.com<whitespace>username@realdomain.com

(there's a way to do all addresses for a virtual domain but I'm not sure of
the format - whether it's an asterisk or you just drop the whole "username@"
part)

Anyway, them you convert that table into a DB file for sendmail by running
'makemap hash virtusertable'

Providing everything else is setup correctly (sendmail will accept email for
the said virtual domains, the remaining virtual domain code in sendmail.cf
is uncommented) it should work.

Let me know if it works...
