While this is not an asnwer to your sendmail dilema... would suggest a far more usable mail solution for virtual hosting. take a look at http://matt.simerson.net/computing/qmail.toaster.shtml has everything including virtual domain, web adminsitration, webmail the works... if you are familiar with directory structure, config editing, and apache you can easily modify this so each virtual domain uses thier own mail admin and webmail services... Havn't looked back at sendmail since.
