Real simple answer, switch to Postfix and dump sendmail. Then edit your alias file to add the aliases, run newaliases and you're done...

I just don't understand why people still gripe about Sendmail. Yeah, it was a force to be reckoned with in the early days, but it's stupid simple to configure these days, and it's pretty much the default in most *nix distributions. Aside from some folks being intimidated by the thought of mc files and running m4, it's pretty much *as simple* to configure as Postfix.

If Postfix works for you, hey great, you're free to run whatever you want. Telling someone to switch MTAs in the context of "how do I restore previous functionality in a program I choose to use" is not very constructive.

Not trying to start a flame war or anything, but just had to say something.

I was biting my tongue also. I even had a page long reply typed up, but decided instead to hit delete and go on to other things.

I still say that the tool you are most familiar with is the tool you should use.
