trusted-users This file contains a list of users (one per
line) that may set their envelope "from"
address to a different user via "sendmail
-f". Common values include "majordomo",
"mailman" and "www". In other words, if a
daemon (or mailing list manager) sends mail
purporting to be from a different user, the
user it runs as should be listed here. The
users "root" and "daemon" are implicitly
included in this list. This file is read
only at startup or when sendmail(8) is sent
SIGHUP.
virtusertable Virtual user table; maps incoming mail addresses
to alternate local usernames or aliases.
Spamd configuration files:
spamd.conf The spamd.conf file is read by spamd-setup(8)
to configure blacklists for spamd(8).
Blacklists are lists of addresses of likely
spammers. Mail from these addresses never
reaches the actual mail server, but is
instead redirected to spamd(8) and tarpitted.
Note that by default, only sendmail.cf will use the access, local-host-names,
mailertable, relay-domains, userdb, and virtusertable files.
These files are not used by the default localhost.cf or submit.cf
