Do you mean you have setup support (at mark) clientdomain.com on the server?

All of the virtual site email config is in /etc/mail/virtusertable so if you try:

>grep support /etc/mail/virtusertable

I find a handy way of troubleshooting email problems like this is by doing:

>sendmail -bv support (at mark) clientdomain.com

That will tell you what sendmail will do with that email address, it should result in a username on your machine.

One other thing, after you created the vsite did you do:

>service sendmail stop
>killall sendmail
>service sendmail start

You need to do that each time you create a virtual site!

Hope that helps!

Thanks
