On a three week old -stable system I get the following behaviour from sendmail: 1) If I add aliases to /etc/aliases and call newaliases thereafter, everything works as it should 2) If I make a new aliases file and wish sendmail to take both into account, by e.g. O AliasFile=/etc/aliases,/usr/local/etc/aliases or O AliasFile=/etc/aliases O AliasFile=/usr/local/etc/aliases then localy everything works again, but not for incoming mails from outside: > Apr 22 22:12:03 rige sendmail[29993]: WAA29993: ... User unknown where testing was defined as an alias in /usr/local/etc/aliases. telnet localhost 25 and vrfy also don't work. Have I done something wrong? Or is this a bug in sendmail.cf? On a related note I also have problems installing the majordomo aliases (I get a strange error from newaliases), which I posted on freebsd-ports.
