My bad. Goatelecom's, my ISP, link from the NIB to VSNL was down all
morning and afternoon. While I was testing, sendmail was retaining mails
on the queue with lookup deferred for mails from domainA to domainB. It
probably could not deliver being unable to resolve. I took out domainA
and domainB thereafter. Should have been more patient :-( but was
getting really pissed off.
Just tried it again after getting back online and it works like a charm!

So:
1. I should have no $j defined in sendmail.cf?
2. My local-host-names should include 'domain[a|b].com' although the
respective names (and 'mail.domain[a|b].com') belong to remote machines
while my machine actually has hostname 'mail.foo.domain.com', and
aliases 'mail.foo.domain[a|b].com',and 'mail'?
3. Of the quoted names in 2, which ones are required by sendmail in
local-host-names and why?
[*] brings me to another question, I used:
FEATURE(accept_unresolvable_domains)dnl
and
define(`confTO_IDENT',`0s')dnl
in sendmail.mc, but I still get host lookups deferred and transient
parse errors occasionally. How come?

Am I right in concluding, that in the presence of unix accounts for the
users of domaina and domainb, with the users POPing from the local
server, the only real use of virtusertable is where two users gaurav
want the same id at domaina and domainb respectively?
Thanks for making things much clearer.
