Here it's called `virtusrtable'.

Here it changes name to `virtualusertable'.

Here it changes names twice in the same line.
Called `virusrtable' first, and `virtusrtable' later.

Sorry if my posting seems a bit impolite, but following these
instructions, the poor guy will *never* be able to get virtual domains
straight.
To the original poster:
Please visit www.sendmail.org and follow the link "Virtual
Hosting" that exists on their first page. The URL it links to
is <http://www.sendmail.org/virtual-hosting.html>; and you will
find all the information you need about virtual hosting and
sendmail there.
Ciao.
