	This is really outside of the scope of this list but let me
	Try to provide a quick answer.

	1) This can not be done easily for the whole domain in one
simple
	   solution.

	2) You will want to use both the virtusertable database as well
as
         the aliases database.
	
	3) You have built your sendmail.cf file with the REDIRECT
feature.

	4) If you don't have a copy of the Sendmail book, it's a very
good
	   idea to get one. (I don't have my copy with me or I would
give
	   you page numbers).

	In the virtusertable you will want to add a line for each of the
	users in the format of something like:

		username1 at olddomain.com	user1-old
		username2 at olddomain.com	user2-old
		username3 at olddomain.com	user3-old


	And in the aliases database it would look like:


		user1-old:
username1,username1 at newdomain.com.REDIRECT
		user2-old:
username2,username2 at newdomain.com.REDIRECT
		user3-old:
username3,username3 at newdomain.com.REDIRECT

	If you have any more questions either ask me off list or ask
	in the comp.mail.sendmail list.	


	
Tony
