Hi,

I recently upgraded from 4.5 to 4.6. Now sendmail gives this error in
/var/log/maillog. It happens when i try and send mail from root to any other
local user. This is the error message :

**This mail was from root, for root**

Below are my config files, aliases, virtuser. (all relevent parts anyway)

*ALIASES*

root: creati0n@somedomain.co.za

# Basic system aliases -- these MUST be present
MAILER-DAEMON: postmaster
postmaster: root


*VIRTUSERTABLE*

###SomeDomain Email###
creati0n@somedomain.co.za             creati0n
@area.co.za                     creati0n
###End SomeDomain Emails###


creati0n is a local user on the server. If i send mail to it from any
account, even using smtp on the server, it works fine. It just seems to be
when i try and send mail from a console. Someone please help

Regards
Ian Barnes
