Why are you using sendmail and not something else?  It is generally
regarded as being hard to configure and understand (which is why it's
not the default MTA for Debian.  There are some things that sendmail can
do that other things can't, but they tend to be rather specialised.

The database is presumably expecting something like

   foo bar

to map foo onto bar.

You (probably, I don't actually use sendmail) shouldn't need to use
userdb at all.  Could you post exactly what you do when running
sendmailconfig?
