Hi Noriko, thanks for you reply.

No, id2entry.db4 is Good.

OK, so there's no way to use it to locate which entry is causing the problem?

I assume you meant "dbscan -n -r -f db/ebiRoot/mail.db4". I see lot of 
numbers, no errors as far as I can tell.

I asked my manager but he doesn't think it's a good idea for security 
reasons. The problem is that the data is our NIS mail.aliases and passwd, 
and we don't want to distribute them to the internet. He suggested I'll 
modify the data, so I can send a sample to you. I'll do that next week.

What would you be looking for in the data? Perhaps I could do it here?

Today I have been trying to narrow down which entries in our 
mail.aliases cause the problem. We have about 8400 aliases (includes 
majordomo and mailman aliases) and if I sort them alphabetically and 
import only entries 250-500, I get following errors from verify-db.pl:

So there's a new error "unsorted duplicate set in sorted-dup database". 
What does it mean?

Curious thing is that I cannot narrow down the problematic entries any 
further. I've tried importing entries 300-450 and 275-475, but there's no 
error. Also tried with two different sets from various ranges, but no 
success yet. It only seems to happen when I import at least 250 entries.

This is how a single entry looks like:

dn: cn=foobar-dev-local,ou=Aliases,dc=ebi,dc=ac,dc=uk
cn: foobar-dev-local
objectClass: top
objectClass: nisMailAlias
rfc822MailMember: "|/homes/majordom/wrapper stripmime.pl|/homes/majordom/wra
  pper resend -l foobar-dev  foobar-dev-outgoing"

I also tried skipping all entries with double quotes, but I still got 
errors. There can be several rfc822MailMember attribute values, as you 
probably know.

Thanks for your time, I really appreciate it.
