NO. I am also using virtual mappings and have been for some time. These are aliases which point to a group of valid email addresses. They don't work on my system now. postmaster: root does not work, none of them work. I've gone through the sendmail.cf file and it looks exactly the same as the old one with respect to aliases. I don't understand this. I also have aliases like: staff: bill, george, james virtual mappings do not let one map to more then one mail address. HELP HELP HELP .!!!!!!!
