Hello Robert,

It would seem Stuart already answered that question. :)

I recommend you use:

http://srs-socketmap.info/srs/srs-socketmapd.0.32rc3.tar.gz

It is as STABLE as 0.31, but comes with a lot of extra things (some of
which you need, like an INSTALL file).

In your case, in cf/sendmail.mc, put:

HACK(srs-socketmapd, local:/var/run/socket.sock, SRS_LOCAL_SELF) :

(or wherever your socket resides, of course)

  srs rewrite everything in Class=w with domains of Class=w
  (useful for virtual domains!)

Which is what you seem to need. :)

Also, it comes with a decent config file, in which you can set secrets,
and such.

You do not need to compile libsrs2 as well. That is the beauty of the
socketmap approach. :) With a simple m4, you have sendmail make queries to
a small, external socketmap daemon. And as long as you keep compiling
newer versions of sendmail with -DSOCKETMAP, you never need to worry about
a thing.

You are right, though, the documentation seriously sucks (or is largely
absent, even). The Xmas days will be a good time to update those. :)
