All you need to do is set it up as an email alias for one of your mail
users.

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
