I meant when sendmail itself was was built did it include this facility
or was there a reason due to the virtual VPS environment that it will 
not work?

Yes, I installed the m4 macros as soon as they were available (1yr ago? 
2?) I did an experiment on VPS1 by adding the FEATURE mailertable and a 
hashed mailertable. Sendmail log shows mail moving normally.

I user a line like this in etc/mailertable to test

fake.domain.com		local:username

(fake is a duly entered CNAME of domain.com in DNS and resolves)

I sent an email to existingname@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
username is a local user
existingname is routed by etc/aliases to procmail

What I see is that the mail is delivered to existingname by executing 
procmail instead of going to the local user username.

I put the FEATURE(mailertable) before the FEATURE(virtualuser) in the 
.mc (I'm too lazy to type the quotes and real names here.)

I haven't finished reading the Sendmail Cookbook yet, but I thought I'd 
ask here about the VPS part before wasting more time.

I would have thought that mailertable had priority over virtuser and 
aliases, but I could be way off on that.
