I may have messed things up now...

Mail to this domain was working for users (macwunder at macwunderland.us in this instance), but none of the mail list addresses were accepted for mail delivery. So I tried this (from other suggestions for undeliverable mail):

makemap hash /etc/mail/mailertable < /etc/mail/mailertable
makemap hash /etc/mail/access.db < /etc/mail/access
makemap hash /etc/mail/virtusertable.db <  /etc/mail/virtusertable

Then restarted sendmail

No more bounces, but all mail is being queued.  :-/

When I try to flush a queued message:

Running /var/spool/mqueue/p3RELDJ5012562 (sequence 1 of 1)
hash map "Alias1": missing map file /etc/mail/aliases.majordomo.db: No such file or directory
<macwunder at macwunderland.us>... WARNING: cannot open alias database /etc/mail/aliases.majordomo; reading text version

So I tried newaliases:

[root at box1 mail]# newaliases
/etc/mail/aliases: 74 aliases, longest 10 bytes, 724 bytes total
newaliases: cannot open /etc/mail/aliases.majordomo: No such file or directory

OOPS...

[root at box1 mail]# touch /etc/mail/aliases.majordomo
[root at box1 mail]# newaliases
/etc/mail/aliases: 74 aliases, longest 10 bytes, 724 bytes total
/etc/mail/aliases.majordomo: 0 aliases, longest 0 bytes, 0 bytes total

Restarted smtp, pop, and imap from gui... now mail is being delivered again, but still can't get anything delivered to maillist adresses.

Grrr...
