You'll obviously get no redhat specific help here, but I'll try.

I'd scrap the virtusertable for this, and go with a mail hub:
	define(`MAIL_HUB', `relay:www.integramicro.com')
	define(`LOCAL_RELAY', `relay:www.integramicro.com')
	define(`SMART_HOST', `relay:www.integramicro.com')

This is untested, but the idea is to send all unqualified (user only)
address via LOCAL_RELAY, all qualified, but non-local vi MAIL_HUB, and
all external via SMART_HOST.
