Does it work ? (The log in the message shows me the opposite)

Yes i'm sure cause (i find it in the documentation and after some 
research in the distribution scripts) makeuserdb makes a concat of all 
the file (if you work with more than one of course) into on single file 
(userdb.dat)

What i want to mean here (sorry my english is maybe not good enough) is 
that :

You can receive mail for multiple aliases if you are doing virtual 
domain hosting cause the virtusertable scheme allow such things (i am 
more thinking a bout sendmail but other mta should be able to do that too)

e.g. :

field1                                                      field2

[EMAIL PROTECTED]            webmaster1
[EMAIL PROTECTED]    webmaster2
[EMAIL PROTECTED]        webmaster3

This allow the mta to deliver the message to distinct account (that are 
virtual on your system) requesting maildrop to deliver the virtual user 
corresponding to the field2

[EMAIL PROTECTED] will use webmaster1 to check his mail...

I don't see any imappw or poppw field for user test ? You must set a 
password for pop authentication and another one (that can be the same) 
for imap authentication (the userdb system can be use for other purposes 
than mail, that's why you find a home and a systempw field)

You must have a look at userdb man pages !
