Sendmail will only look in virtusertable if it considers the address local (i.e.
you've added the target domain to local-host-names). That means you'll have to
use some other name for the delivery target in the virtusertable expansion side
to get it to forward on. Probably whatever you are using in mailertable will
work. You might be able to use user@[host.domain] notation or user@[IP_address]
there to avoid another MX lookup that would come back to the relay - I'm not
sure about that. You'll probably have to do some testing with this part since
it is a fairly drastic change to make the targets local - but you can do it one
domain at a time.
