Hello Christian,I solved it! I tried to deliver to a local alias by using localalias@machine all the time and if I only use localalias the expansion also works for me. I modified your patch a bit to get the default domain (mainly the hostname of the machine) not appended to local names by simply putting one rule before yours:
Any chance I can get a look at your sendmail.mc or sendmail.cf files. Im
trying to accomplish the same as you but following your thread of e-mails on
the list I cant seem to reach the same poitn as you.
Thanks,

So all email beeing sent to the local machine will not get the @domain appended to theire names and so cyrus can expand aliases to this domain also! Now I am able to map to localaliases in virtusertable by specifying
@domain.it localalias@machinename
You really helped me a lot! Thanks!

Modified patch:
I am sure that changing the syntax of local usernames to containing a non-allowed @ character in rule 0 for the whole sendmail installation will definetly become strange when it comes to UUCP mailers or whatever other mailers used, but I really read a lot of sendmail documentation of where to get the @domain part into local usernames and I cannot find a better place to do it elsewhere. Only using MAILER(smtp) and MAILER(cyrusv2) in sendmail.mc with cyrusv2 beeing defined as the local mailer everything works for me as I needed it to but complex sites who have to deal with many other mailers in theire sendmail.mc files will get into problems I think. So I would not recommend to use this for such sites!
