I have battled postfix, qmail and sendmail for years - and my latest trouble involved sendmail trying to route emails to local (non-existant) users, even though the domains in question were not in the local domains config.
After running around in config circles for a couple of hours it turns out that if you set the server's hosts to include your domains, sendmail will assume local delivery for those domains.
That is even if you have sendmail configured not to (ie: in /etc/mail/local-host-names). It even ignores your virtusertable with explicit instructions to forward mail for those domains elsewhere.
Go figure. Hope this helps someone.
H,
You wanna provide a little more info? mail.log and sendmail.mc or whatever you have called it, virtualusertable source and maybe you relay-domains file too. You can change the names inside if any of the info is confidential.
Cheers
Andrew
