Take note of the remark "reject unknown users early".
- your mailer is named "dovecot", therefore the mailertable entry in the Wiki:
virtualdomain.example.com vmail:vmail
should spell, IMHO:
virtualdomain.example.com dovecot:dovecot

hi steffen
- thanx for your reply
sendmail-8.15.1 + dovecot-2.2.15 + OpenSSL is working ..
my sendmail is also configured for smtp-auth and saslauth and seems to work with dovecot
one other thing to note, sendmail requires CA signed *.pem certs vs self-signed ... in my case, dovecot uses the same *.pem certs

it turns out, the hostname must NOT be listed in /etc/mail/local-host-names and that it still must resolve ( /etc/hosts )
- your mailer is named "dovecot", therefore the mailertable entry in the Wiki:
virtualdomain.example.com vmail:vmail
and again, virtualdomain -- should NOT be listed in /etc/mail/local-host-names

yup

- there had been a post about trying to improve virtual user support in sendmail incl. some ongoing talk. Maybe you find it and get some info back into this list.
few posts showed another sendmail file that needs to be configured
/etc/mail/access # vmail must be defined in /etc/hosts ... NOT listed in local-host-named To: vmail.example.com RELAY
dovecot user dovecot.user == returns UID/GID/home/mailbox ( deliverable )
these are good tests to show dovecot is able to deliver its emails
in my case, dovecot resolves users in /etc/passwd, /etc/mail/virtusertable, /etc/dovecot/password and hopefully, it will also resolve /usr/local/mysql database users
# -------------------------------------------------------------------- # dovecot's LDA delivers the test email to the dovecot/mysql recepient # -------------------------------------------------------------------- cat test-email-with-headers.txt | dovecot-lda -d dovecot.user ( email delivered )

"user unknown" comes from misconfigured since sendmail is still confused - /etc/mail/mailertable - /etc/mail/local-host-names - /etc/mail/access
my final sendmail config .... only import stuff shown ..
