This isn't guaranteed to work properly (as you've found out) even though it does work with some versions of sendmail. In another reply Bill Vermillion suggested that you could create a user with a .forward file in their home directory. The .forward file can contain multiple addresses. That certainly works. Another option suggested on the sendmail website, <http://www.sendmail.org/virtual-hosting.html>; is to use an alias instead of a dummy user, This reduces the number of accounts on the machine. For example, In the virtusertable put @domain.com fallthrough and in the aliases file put fallthrough: addy1@domain2.com,addy2@domain3.com We've used this method with success.
