I am hoping that someone can help me out here. I am trying to setup virtualmin and when I run the check configuration tool I get No address mapping (virtusers) file was found in your Sendmail configuration. Your may need to add the appropriate feature your Sendmail M4 and re-build the configuration. I am not sure what I need to do. Could someone please give me some assistance.
Thanks,
Brad

Hey Guys,
I am hoping that someone can help me out here. I am trying to setup virtualmin and when I run the check configuration tool I get No address mapping (virtusers) file was found in your Sendmail configuration. Your may need to add the appropriate feature your Sendmail M4 and re-build the configuration. I am not sure what I need to do. Could someone please give me some assistance.

Yes, I had this issue. It's because you need to add a directive to your sendmail configuration. That directive is:
Feature FEATURE(virtusertable, `hash -o /etc/mail/virtusertable.db')dnl
Your location to store virtualusertable might be different. I had to create mine and created a blank document for virtusertable.db
correction! The directove you should add is:
Feature FEATURE(virtusertable, `hash -o /etc/mail/virtusertable')dnl
(without the .db as I had posted earlier)
I have the same Problem: m4:/etc/mail/sendmail.mc:18: ERROR: end of file in string
