Actually, all I forgot is the makemap hash part. I used to work at an ISP that had a few FreeBSD machines. Otherwise I would probally be lost. Thanks for everything! Now I have to tackle sendmail.

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.
