You may need the no_more option at the end of your virtual router.
Alternatively, you do understand that using the *@ format means that any
local-part will match the @domain part, just the same as your
virtusertable, so actually there aren't any non-valid addresses?
Also note that files searched by lsearch are text files in traditional
aliases file format, so you can't directly use your old sendmail
virtusertable, you either have to fix your virtusertable file to have
colons in it between the LHS and RHS, or you need to use dbm instead of
lsearch and keep using makemap or whatever to create your virtusertable.db
file. You can use *@ with dbm too.
Re both, I recommend you check the manual for the exact meanings and
implications; while I'm very happy to suggest things, your setup or your
requirements probably vary from mine and I'm pretty much a newbie here myself!
HTH
