Sorry to hi-jack your thread, but this is also something I am currently 
looking in to

I really wanted to use Sendmail as a friend knows Sendmail fairly well 
and I have a Sendmail book, but what I am wanting is the ability to have 
mail for virtual users, ie I might have 4 admin accounts, 
admin@domain1.com admin@domain2.com admin@domain3.com and 
admin@domain4.com and want all the accounts to be independent of each 
other and not necessarily have a real UNIX user account. I know I can 
create 4 different admin accounts say admin1, admin2, admin3, admin4 and 
then use the "virtual users" table, but I can see that getting a little 
messy and from the end user's point they are going to have unusual login 
names.
I know I can do this in Postfix, but is it possible in Sendmail?

Cheers

Paul
