	You're setting up virtual mail domains.

	No.  This is not a job for the aliases file at all.  This is a 
job for the virtual users table.  To enable the table you need the following
lines enabled in your sendmail.cf file:

# Virtual user table (maps incoming users)
Kvirtuser hash /etc/virtusertable

	You should also have the following somewhere down in your rule sets:

SParse1
# handle virtual users
R$+ < @ $=w . >         $: < $(virtuser $1 @ $2 $@ $1 $: @ $) > $1 < @ $2 . >
R<@> $+ + $* < @ $* . >
                        $: < $(virtuser $1 + * @ $3 $@ $1 $: @ $) > $1 + $2 < @ $3 . >
R<@> $+ + $* < @ $* . >
                        $: < $(virtuser $1 @ $3 $@ $1 $: @ $) > $1 + $2 < @ $3 .
 >
R<@> $+ < @ $+ . >      $: < $(virtuser @ $2 $@ $1 $: @ $) > $1 < @ $2 . >
R<@> $+                 $: $1
R< error : $- $+ > $*   $#error $@ $( dequote $1 $) $: $2
R< $+ > $+ < @ $+ >     $: $>97 $1

	If you don't have the above...  STOP!  Get sendmail 8.8.7 from
ftp.sendmail.org and rebuild with the latest sendmail and update your
sendmail.cf file from the cf directory in that package.  The chances
of manually updating an older .cf file without screwing it up are slim
and none.

	Now...  Once you have that...  Create your /etc/virtusertable
as follows:

cadd at itserve.com	realuser1
cadd at cobb.itserve.com 	realuser2

	Then run the following command:

	makemap hash /etc/virtusertable.db < /etc/virtusertable

	Restart sendmail and you're off and running.

> Keep in mind that I'll have another alias as listed below.

> cadd:gtaylor

	This will fall out in the wash when neither of the above two addresses
are matched.
