I just installed FreeBSD 2.1.7, and I am trying to implement a feature that
should be very usefull at my site, but as ussual when I try to do something
with sendmail I get hoplessly confused (did the authors of sendmail
intentionally make this incomprehensable?)

Anyway, I have my machine, soncom.com   mail works just fine.  
I also have a virtual domain. datalynx.com also works just fine (part of
/etc/sendmail.cf below)

Cwsoncom.com
Cwdatalynx.com


Now what I would like to do is to have all mail the has the domain of
datalynx.com be routed to one mailbox.  I thought I could do it with
something like this

/etc/mailertable
datalynx.com		procmail:/etc/procmailrsc/datalynx.com

/etc/procmailrsc/datalynx.com
:0
! steve@soncom.com


no matter what I send, it fails with a DSN: User unknown 

Can someone help me get this to work.  /etc/sendmail.cf has had no changes
made to it (other than th Cw lines) from what was preinstalled with freeBSD
2.1.7

this is sendmail 8.8.5 and procmail 3.11p4.
