Hi, Im trying to hand off all the cron mail (to root) on my freebsd 5.2 server
to another user or 2 using the aliases file and sendmail.
The problem is that sendmail does not seem to be looking at my aliases file at all.
Here is my setup:
ali# grep send /etc/rc.conf
sendmail_enable="NO"
sendmail_submit_enable="YES"
sendmail_msp_queue_enable="YES"
ali#
The only thing I changed from the default freebsd.mc file in /etc/mail
was to uncomment/add the line:
dnl Dialup users should uncomment and define this appropriately
define(`SMART_HOST', `smtp.washington.edu')
to hand off email to the campus-wide delivery system
in /etc/aliases I have:
# Pretty much everything else in this file points to "root", so
# you would do well in either reading root's mailbox or forwarding
# root's email from here.
root: mbw, ncosgray
Which I would assume will fwd mail to root to those 2 users...
But when I run a test:
ali# /usr/sbin/sendmail -v root < /dev/null
LOG: MAIN
<= root@u.washington.edu U=root P=local S=310
ali# Connecting to smtp.washington.edu [140.142.33.9]:25 ... connected

It never changes the "root" to "mbw" or "ncosgray"
Can anyone explain this and/or help me to fix it?
thanks,
Matt
