Local configuration error I've read the /usr/src/UPDATING regarding the sendmail aliases issues and have created the link, removed and rebuilt the aliases.db with newaliases (although my aliases were already in /etc/mail before I did the mergmaster so I don't think this is an issue). I added my domain to the DM line in the new sendmail.cf and have also created an /etc/mail/local-hosts-names file by copying my sendmail.cw file since it appears that has changed in the new version. If I copy back the old sendmail.cf everything seems to work other than a terse little message saying that my sendmail.cf file is out of date. Does anyone know specifically what is wrong? I have the great big book of Sendmail but it kind of hurts my brain. The old sendmail.cf is version 8.9.3 and the new one is 8.11 Thanks - Kirk -- ALAP Technology PO Box 672298 Chugiak, AK - USA 99567 (907) 688 8843 www.alaptech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
