The usual wasy to do this should be the praliases(1) command that comes
with sendmail(8).
Usage:
# praliases -f /etc/virtusertable > virtusertable.txt
No extra tools/packages/programming needed. You will then need to go in
and convert the colons (':') to tabs, i.e.:
# praliases -f /etc/virtusertable | sed -e 's/:/<Ctrl-V><Tab>/'> virtusertable
(The <Ctrl-V> is just because some shells like tcsh/zsh will probably try
to use a <Tab> as a command-line expansion/completion indicator.)
