I've almost forgotten how to use sendmail, but ... leblanc+freebsd@keyslapper.org (Louis LeBlanc) writes: > Hey all.

The /etc/mail/aliases file has a format which is as follows: local_user: another_address@some.domain local_user2: another_address2@a.domain ... The left hand side should NOT contain an @anything as it represents LOCAL aliases for the domains which are treated as a final destination. (I think sendmail.cf's Cw entry ??) So you shouldn't be using /etc/mail/aliases I think you should be using the virtusertable and in that file you would specify the addresses as you've done above, though I would include the appropriate domain suffix for each alias. After creating the entries you then need to use makemap to generate the .db file that sendmail uses. You'll have to check the man page for the exact specifics. Hope this (sort of) helps.
