Re: Webmin/sendmail unknown user problem

[Joe C. <jo...@sw...>]

I'm reckoning there is a corruption or similar in your virtuser map. 
Check the actual configuration file, to make sure it 'looks' right.

The first thing I do in these situations is check the log for the server 
daemon in question...perhaps do a service restart of Sendmail and see if 
it complains about something wrong with one of your configuration files.
