Hi, 
Just installed 2.2.7
Every once in a while this message comes up:
sendmail[679]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): hash map "Alias0": unsafe map file
/etc/aliases: No such file or directory

The file /etc/aliases does exist.
Being a newbie I'm not sure what this means...can someone help?
...and could someone explain what the sendmail daemon does also?

Please route reply's to my email also.
