The classic... everything was fine for months and now it > doesn't work anymore and I don't know what I did! You need to run /usr/bin/newaliases to update the database. You might want to put this in /etc/crontab in case you change /etc/aliases and forget to run newaliases. I believe that the alias mechanism should still work in spite of the database being out of date, so that's a little odd.. -- Jim Durham To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
