8/3     I'm trying to add virtual forwarding, by adding a file called
        /etc/mail/virtusertable that forwards from user "test@mydomain.com"
        to "joeblow". I also added the line "FEATURE(`virtusertable')dnl"
        in sendmail.mc. Lastly, I did a make, then restarted sendmail. However
        it is not working. How do I diagnose the problem?
        \_ I have a similar setup.  From my config I also have a
           VIRTUSER_DOMAIN entry directly after the FEATURE(`virtusertable')
           entry:
           FEATURE(`virtusertable',`hash -o /etc/mail/virtusertable.db')dnl
           VIRTUSER_DOMAIN(`foo.com http://bar.com')dnl
           \_ Yes I have the exact same thing. After running
              echo '3,0 test@mydomain.com' | sendmail -bt
              I'm expecting it to return joeblow but instead it is
              returning "test". My biggest problem is I don't know
              where to look for error messages for proper diagnosis.

8/4     In sendmail on Linux, how do I write a rule which will quietly discard
        e-mail sent to nonexistent users? Default behavior is to bounce
        the mail back, but in the case of SPAM the From: address doesn't
        exist. I'd rather just toss such mail.
        \_ This may bring other problems with it, but you may wish to
           consider greylisting.  It simply replies to each mail with a 405
           (try again later).  On the second try, the mail's delivered; most
           spam doesn't hack this.  On the other hand, it could fail to
           deliver mail from misconfigured mailers.  -John
        \_ Sendmail can tell reject mail during the SMTP session for non-
           existent users prior to accepting the message (therefore, you don't
           generate a bounce -- the sender does [should]).  If this isn't
           feasible (this is a mail relay, etc.), try something that does
           sender-address verification. (spamilter, mimedefang, etc.) or
           bring over a list of "valid" users (timed sync, or ldap lookups)

8/4     Dear sendmail virtusertable gurus, please help.
        Let's say my domain name is <DEAD>csua1.com<DEAD> and I'd like it to handle mail
        for <DEAD>csua2.com<DEAD> as well. The virtusertable (which I ran "makemap hash"
        on to generate virtusertable.db) contains the followings:
        a@csua1.com joe
        b@csua2.com joe
        When I send mail to a@csua1.com, it is correctly sent to joe. However
        when I send mail to b@csua2.com, it complains that b@csua1.com
        (instead of b@csua2.com) doesn't exist. Somehow, when it can't
        find an email for <DEAD>csua2.com<DEAD>, it resolves the host name back to
        <DEAD>csua1.com<DEAD>. Why is this happening?
        \_ is <DEAD>csua2.com<DEAD> a proper MX record or a CNAME?
