virtusertable...

The answer is "yes" to all your questions. I found all the information
that I needed in the O'Reilly "Sendmail" book and on the Sendmail web
site. 

Our mail relays host addresses in 40+ domains and deliver to many mail
servers. Some of the domains are handled via mailertable and the rest by
virtusertable which has 94,000+ address entries. We use the version of
Sendmail distributed with RedHat AS 3.

What I did was set up a development mail relay on an on old Linux box.
It does not have to be very powerful since it will not carry a
production mail load. You can experiment with what you learn from the
book and then develop and test a production configuration on this
system.

        We have a situation where we want to divert messages on a user
basis to a different local server.
         
        Currently all mails to abc.com goto esmtp[192.168.1.1]  using
the mailertable database.
         
         
        We are looking at using virtusertable to divert mesasge destined
for:
         
        user1 at abc.com to user1 at wxyz.com
         
        Is it possible to use the mailertable and the virtusertable
alongside each other?
         
        Is this theory going to work with what we are planning?
         
         
        We use:
         
        SendMail
        MailScanner
        MailWatch
         
        many thanks
