Ok, so the first way should have worked?  I changed the line to:
Kvirtusertable hash /etc/virtusertable.db

and restart sendmail (completely kill it and restart it) and then send a
email to one of the addresses listed in the virtusertable, and it comes back
as user unknown.  Is there another table I need to setup?

Thanks
Chris
