I have a fully working cyrus+sendmail mail server hosting all users for foo.com. Company foo has been acquired by company bar and it has been decided that bar.com is the new domain of choice. The administrator of bar.com has added a pile of redirects to send various user@bar.com addresses so they come up to my server at foo.com. My users have changed their From: addresses to user@bar.com and we have a basic working system.
However, if one user in former company foo mails another user in the same office their mail now goes offsite to bar.com's mail server and is then redirected back in again, which works but is bad for bandwidth.
Ideally I'd like to teach sendmail that a subset of bar.com users are now local. However if I try this in the /etc/aliases file, I get the warning "cannot alias non-local names".
Has anyone got any better ideas how to do this- or a better suggestion as to where I should ask this question again?

In sendmail.mc set:
define(`_VIRTUSER_STOP_ONE_LEVEL_RECURSION_')dnl LOCAL_CONFIG C{VirtHost}bar.com
In virtusertable set:
usera@bar.com %0 userb@bar.com %0 dnl all others are delivered locally @bar.com %1

That's really close thanks. However I only know the userlist for foo.com, so I have to do the wildcarding backwards to how you showed:
in virtusertable, I'm trying:
dnl redirect certain known users mail straight back in locally first.last@bar.com i.last@foo.com first2.last2@bar.com i.last2@foo.com
dnl allow unknown users to flow offsite @bar.com %0
But of course the %0 is wrong. I need to persuade it to just deliver as per dns mx records as normal - or even specify the mx if needed. This part I'm still researching...
