By "hosting" domains I meant that our mail gateways relay mail for 40+
domains, just as you want to do for a single domain.
Shrek-m has given you some pointers. I would strongly urge you to follow
the advice I gave in my first reply:
1. Get the O'Reilly "Sendmail" book
2. Try things out on a small test mail gateway/relay
Once you are making progress with that you will find correspondence on
specific technical issues more readily provided and useful.
I will send you off-line a copy of our sendmail.mc file.

Thanks for your reply.
We have no domains on this server. This server is purely for
relaying services. We want certain addresses to be converted as
follows.
user1 at abc.com to user1 at wxyz.com
So that mail arriving for user1 at abc.com is converted to
user1 at wxyz.com and relayed to the wxyz.com server not abc.com server.
If this is what you are doing can you send us config for
configuration you have done?
Is there any other configuration changes to make other than
virtusertable?
We have checked that the below line is in the .mc file.
FEATURE(`virtusertable',`hash -o /etc/mail/virtusertable.db')dnl
The only other entry we have is user1 at abc.com to user1 at wxyz.com
which is in the virtusertable file.
many thanks

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
