This is configured in the virtusertable you would setup a text file that
would look something like this


@havenonline.com       kerowyn@kerowyns-haven.com


now everything that has @havenonline.com will be redirected to that email
however if you put in a direct email and have that directed somewhere else
that will work also like....

webmaster@hacenonline.com      webmaster@kerowyns-haven.com

after you do all that you need to make a hash table this is what I run

makemap hash /etc/virtusertable.db < /etc/virtusertable

Now in sendmail.cf you need to have it look for the virtusertable.db You
also might have to redo the sendmail.cf if it is not already configured for
virtual email.
