kk I got rid of that other masquerade feature...

I did add a feature `generictable' line ....by the book...tried to add a file w/ a user username@otherdomain called it idealusers then the book said to run makemap hash /etc/mail/idealusers (in my case)

and I never could get the prompt to come back...like it was hung

makemap expects to receive something via standard input (stdin); the proper invocation (and the one I included on my howto page) would be

makemap hash /etc/mail/idealusers < /etc/mail/idealusers

You'll end up with a file /etc/mail/idealusers.db. If you've configured sendmail properly, there also ought to be line in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf that points to your file:

Kgenerics hash /etc/mail/idealusers
