[oclug] Sendmail and Virtual Hosting... not working.

Hi folks,

Still trying to bang away at this problem, and am having no luck.
Apologies in advance for the longish post - it seemed prudent to post as
much info as I could in the hope that someone might spot what it is that's
preventing this from working.

Config
======

Sendmail on debian stable - 8.12.3-7.1

In /etc/hosts:

127.0.0.1       localhost localhost.localdomain
69.156.222.39   kronos.honk.org mail.northernsportsman.ca
northernsportsman.ca kronos
10.16.52.1      os.digitalnetworks.ca os


In /etc/mail/local-host-names, the names for which I wish to accept mail:

kronos.honk.org
northernsportsman.ca


In /etc/mail/relay-domains:

northernsportsman.ca


In /etc/mail/access:

127.0.0.1                               RELAY
os.digitalnetworks.ca                   OK

(There's other stuff in there too, but unrelated to this - just remote
user and domain blocks.)


In /etc/mail/virtusers/, thar be one file, named for the domain to be
virt-hosted:

northernsportsman.ca

containing (docs in /usr/share/sendmail/buildvirtuser):

earlej            earlej at hotmail.com
test.user         earlej at hotmail.com
                  earlej at hotmail.com

Which was then built with /usr/share/sendmail/buildvirtuser, which
produces two files in /etc/mail:

virtusertable.db
virthosts

In /etc/mail/virthosts:

northernsportsman.ca

It appears the .db file is ready to use.

Finally, my sendmail.mc and submit.mc are in
http://kronos.honk.org/~earlej/files/

.cf files were rebuilt after changes, and sendmail restarted.

Testing results
===============

(not sure what these tests accomplish - I got this off the web):
