Hi Marc, If you are trying to use sendmail as your MTA, I have some notes online at http://www.helgrim.com/dbmaildocs/installation.html - These were started, but never finished so they may not work too well for you.
Basically you need to define dbmail as a "mailer" which sendmail can use. I have a mailer definition done for sendmail which is at http://www.helgrim.com/dbmaildocs/files/dbmail-m4 which you will need to download and compile into sendmail. You can then use the mailertable to specify that all mail for particular domains are to be delivered with the dbmail mailer, instead of the default local delivery. If you have any trouble/feedback, please let me know. -fr.
