Ok, now I understand. Linuxconf does support virtusertable directly. But
it expect the file to be in /etc/mail, not just in /etc. If you place the
file there, not only linuxconf will generate the proper sendmail.cf, but
also, it will generate the makemap command if need on that file (build the
index).
further, using linuxconf to edit a user account, you are allowed to enter
email aliases. If you enter a fully qualified email aliases, linuxconf
will update not the /etc/aliases file, but the /etc/mail/virtusertable.
So it is very easy with linuxconf to create a user account joe and then to
register this joe as a virtual member of another email domain, just by
filling the user account dialog. No need to edit virtusertable by hand
(well, you can do it if you want as virtusertable can do more general
things).
