Unfortunately, I'm no Sendmail expert.  I've never used it.  But,
while EXTENSION is important, it is RECIPIENT that may be causing your
problems.  It should look like this.

RECIPIENT="$LOGNAME$DELIMITER$EXTENSION@$HOST"

HOST is a variable set by procmail, so perhaps your machine's host
name is not properly configured.  What is the output of the 'hostname'
command?

The cron program usually sends mail to the user who owns the crontab.
If you have TMDA on that user's account, TMDA will send a confirm
request back to cron!  Try setting the MAILTO variable in your
crontab.  You can read more about this with 'man 5 crontab' (if you
run Linux, you might have to specify a '-s5' to get section 5 of the
manual.  I don't run Linux, so I'm not exactly sure about that.

I'm afraid I don't quite understand what you mean.  Do you not want
people to send mail to your virtual addresses?
