My line in sendmail.mc looks like this:

FEATURE(virtusertable)dnl

The dnl should not be relevant.

Then you map your users one per line in a plain text file like this:

someone@adomain.com	localuser

Then you must convert the text file into a db using this command

makemap hash /etc/virtusertable < plain_text_input_file

Then, it should work.  Make sure you restart sendmail after any
configuration changes (not after rebuilding the db but after changing any
sendmail.* files.

The other thing you may have neglected is adding adomain.com to the file
sendmail.cw ... I'm pretty sure that is also necessary.
