If somebody knows how to reconfigure sendmail for multiple alias files, they really should know that (by default) sendmail requires you to rebuild the aliases file when you make changes. IMHO the same really goes for all the .db files (e.g. virtusertable, mailertable, etc.); the init script really should not be rebuilding anything. Do these people that know about /etc/aliases but not newaliases restart sendmail every time they change /etc/aliases? -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
