was certainly created on all our VS's when we added an alias in the web
control panel - and we didn't add it to the skel - which means admin doesn't
need write access -
In a straight install of sendmail on a linux box which would be controlled
from command line, after making makemap, you create /etc/virtusertable text
file containing mail aliases:
[username]@newdomainname LOCAL_USER (or remote user elsewhere)
where [username] is optional. If USERNAME is omitted, all mail coming to
NEWDOMAINNAME will be delivered to the specified person.
Create a new hash table of aliases:
makemap hash /etc/virtusertable < /etc/virtusertable
which will create /etc/virtusertable.db database file. But using the web
admin script and adding an alias saves you from doing this
