User unknown The big clue is that it works for outgoing and local mail, but not incoming. Your mailer spawns a new copy of sendmail for each delivery, and those will read the alias database(s) as they start. But incoming mail (TCP to port 25) connects to the daemon sendmail, which loaded it's idea of aliases at boot time. Stop and start the daemon version, and you should be fine. -crl -- Chad R.
