My line in sendmail.mc looks like this:
FEATURE(virtusertable)dnl
The dnl should not be relevant.
Then you map your users one per line in a plain text file like this:
someone@adomain.com localuser
Then you must convert the text file into a db using this command
makemap hash /etc/virtusertable < plain_text_input_file
Then, it should work. Make sure you restart sendmail after any
configuration changes (not after rebuilding the db but after changing any
sendmail.* files.
The other thing you may have neglected is adding adomain.com to the file
sendmail.cw ... I'm pretty sure that is also necessary.
