If you are collectiong mail for the entire apana.org.au domain,
perhaps a mailertable is better for you. It would contain,

  apana.org	local:
  .apana.org	local:

And you would cover all hosts in the domain.

Does that work properly?

Huh? Created an empty /etc/mail/virtusertable? That file needs to hold
your virtual user table to be processed. You seem to be trying to
creat a virtuserable from nothing.

Try,

  % cd /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/cf
  % more README

Also, these are sendmail questions that are not at all FreeBSD
specific. You might want to try sendmail resources,

   http://www.sendmail.org

   comp.mail.sendmail
