Good info.

This is what I did:

in /etc/aliases

jobs: bill

in virtualusertable
jobs at domain.com.nz: rob

anything that comes in to jobs at domain.com gets cought by the jobs alias 
and gets delivered to bill, anything that goes to jobs at domain.com.nz is 
being handles by the virtualusertable and goes to rob..

I only have the one entry in virtualuserstable. The rest of my mail is 
being delivered ok..


I didn't change the sendmail.mc. My sendmail was already configured for 
virtualusertable.
