I just noticed that I was getting some of the same symptoms you've been seeing. When I checked my /var/log/maillog I saw that it was complaining about an unsafe /etc/aliases.db file. I wasn't able to run the following command as root...I got a permission denied??? makemap hash /etc/aliases < /etc/aliases I had to remove the existing aliases.db file first and then it worked. I also had the same problem with /etc/mail/access.db. I had to remove the existing access.db and then rerun the makemap command to recreate it. After that all has been working. Please check those files and let me know what happens. -- Gerry Doris <gdoris@xxxxxxxxxx> -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
