[TriLUG] Now why isn't this working (sendmail question)?

Kevin,

Glad you're not using linuxconf for sendmail anymore; it breaks more
than it helps.

Are you using m4 now, or do you still use $EDITOR to hack your
sendmail.cf?
You'll need to use m4 to get all the features to work correctly.

Your note said you had put
@sonney.com: alchemist
into your virtusertable; did you actually include the colon?
There should be no punctuation between left and right columns,
just a tab.

If your virtuser works OK, you should get the following from sendmail
-bt
/map virtuser bob at sonney.com    ...    no match (0)
/map virtuser @sonney.com    ...    alchemist
3,0 bob at sonney.com    ...    alchemist
because there's not an explicit map entry for Bob,
but the unmatched names will still come to you.

Hope this helps.
