I have no problem listing all users in those domains in virtusertable. So, I've tried removing the "define(`confLOCAL_MAILER', `cyrusv2')dnl" line and adding the settings described in http://anfi.homeunix.net/sendmail/localNalias.html .
However, I had the following problems:
1. virtusertable entries like "u...@domain.com user@CYRUSV2" are causing mail to be returned with the message "554 5.0.0 MX list for cyrusv2.domain.com. points back to mx.domain.com". My ISP uses wildcard DNS records (not sure whether they are called so), i.e., cyrusv2.domain.com has A x.y.z.t and mx.domain.com has A x.y.z.t.
2. Undefining cyrusv2 as the default mailer results in e-mails accepted and delivered for users in /etc/passwd, like s...@domain.com. I'm really reluctant to adding all of them to the access_db.

Have you added CYRUSV2 to P class (list)? #v+ LOCAL_CONFIG CPCYRUS CYRUSV2 LOCAL #v-

D'oh! They were commented out since my last attempt as "dnl #LOCALCONFIG". So, I removed the "dnl" part :) . It works now, thanks much!
Any ideas about the one below?

You may: * use one of recipes describes at http://anfi/homeunix.net/sendmail/#cyrus e.g. RTCyrus3 *OR* * keep cyrus as local mailer [define(`confLOCAL_MAILER', `cyrusv2')] and use the recipe below '---' (inspired by a query from support at civeng adelaide edu au and tested by the same person - to be published this week, I hope).
RTCyrus3 is concentrated on supporting cyrus imap virtual domains, the solution below is best fit for cyrus used as local mailer.
------------------------------------------------------------------- I suggest you to use LUSER_RELAY with *modified* check of existing accounts/mailboxes.
1) In sendmail.mc
1A) add F=5 flag to cyrusv2 mailer flags (it turns on processing of post aliases rule set in which LUSER_RELAY is handled)
MODIFY_MAILER_FLAGS(`CYRUSV2',`+5')dnl
1B) add LUSER_RELAY to sendmail.mc (relay for unknown local users) define(`LUSER_RELAY',`error:nouser User unknown')dnl
2) In generated sendmail.cf change definition of map (database lookup spec) used to check local user existence (single line change) [ it can not be changed via sendmail.mc so far ]
Change Kuser user -m -a<> into Kuser hash -m -a<> /etc/mail/user
3) list valid cyrus mailboxes 3A) In /etc/mail/user file list cyrus mailboxes
mailbox_name_1 OK mailbox_name_2 OK
3B) compile "user" file using makemap makemap hash user < user
4) You can test sendmail-test.cf using the commands below

It *can* be changed via sendmail.mc. It is a little ugly but it works on my Slackware Linux 10.2 with GNU m4 1.4.2.

I stand corrected. Thank you for your simple *after* 'hack' :-)

Could post two sentences about you cyrus-sendmail installation?
e.g. I would like to know why have you decided not to use RTCyrus2/3? [ querying cyrus imapd directly in "real time" using socket map ]
I haven't checked the news for a long time, sorry.

I just moved an old working config to a new server. At that moment I didn't know about RTCyrus. I stumbled upon it reading your sendmail pages (very useful stuff, thanks much!) and was very excited, but never had time to look at it. Can I use it with stock sendmail 8.13.8 without patching any configs / source files?
I'm also curious about open-sendmail, perhaps you could spend a couple of words about it -- is it a fork, or a patchset, what are the distinguishing features, sendmail compatibility goals, etc.?

*Patching* the sources is not necessary, recompilation may be necessary if sendmail provided by your distribution is not compiled with socket map support.
#v+ To check if sendmail is compiles with socket map support use: /usr/sbin/sendmail -bt -d0.1 </dev/null | grep SOCKETMAP #v-

I decided it would be a good idea to try to keep features not included (yet?) in sendmail.org distribution in one place.
