The way I'm reading it, you've got it backwards. You use useradd (or
Linuxconf, or Webmin...my personal fave) to create ocean, then you
add "[EMAIL PROTECTED] ocean" to create the mapping, then
"makemap hash /etc/mail/virtusertable.db < /etc/mail/virtusertable"
to create the map database.
Sendmail should already be set up to use the virtusertable
database...I believe it's part of the default installation. Then,
yes...it should automatically work.
But you have to remember...the first entry on the line in the
virtusertable is the virtual address...the second is the real address
to which the mail will be delivered. In other words, the virtual
address (address 1 on the [EMAIL PROTECTED]) is mapped to
the real address (address 2 on the line ocean@...).
