I don't support you have LUSER_RELAY set in your .mc?

If you want to understand how and why sendmail takes a given address and 
changes it and/or decides where to deliver it, use a command like:

% echo '3,0 cswiger at mac.com' | sendmail -bt
ADDRESS TEST MODE (ruleset 3 NOT automatically invoked)
Enter <ruleset> <address>
 > canonify           input: < cswiger @ mac . com >
Canonify2          input: cswiger < @ mac . com >
Canonify2        returns: cswiger < @ mac . com . >
   [ ...many lines deleted... ]
parse            returns: $# esmtp $@ mac . com . $: cswiger < @ mac . com . >

....obviously using a relevant email address instead of my own.  This will 
show lookups to your virtusertable and mailertable maps, and indicates whether 
the address will be handled for local delivery-- which looks something like:

parse            returns: $# local $: cswiger

...or be handled for remote delivery to some MX via the E/SMTP mailer-- which 
is what the "$# esmtp $@ mac . com ." part above means (obviously :-), etc.
