Hello, I'm new to this list. To the meat of the matter: I installed Majordomo on to a system running 2.2-971207-SNAP. The post-install documentation said to add the line: O AliasFile=/etc/aliases,/usr/local/majordomo/aliases.majordomo to sendmail.cf . I located the AliasFile option and added the majordomo aliases file to it (so it matched the above), restarted sendmail, and tested it. The result? Dec 18 19:19:29 pi sendmail[2069]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): hash map "Alias2": unsafe map file /usr/local/majordomo/aliases.majordomo: No such file or directory I double-checked to make sure the file was there: /usr/local/majordomo -r--r--r-- 1 bin bin 4479 Dec 18 19:05 aliases.majordomo I then tried the newaliases command, with much the same result (which I probably should've done in the first place): Dec 18 20:38:27 pi sendmail[267]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): hash map "Alias1": unsafe map file /usr/local/majordomo/aliases.majordomo: Permission denied I then tried chown'ing the aliases.majordomo file to majordom:majordom, with the same result. I then tried chmod'ing it so it was writable by the owner and group, with no success. I then made it world-writable, and it failed again (although with the error that the file was world-writable, which is a good thing ;). I eventually gave up and worked around it by taking the relevant bits of the file and adding it to /etc/aliases. So. Is the proper way of adding multiple alias files to separate them with comma's? Searching though comp.mail.sendmail archives seems to indicate that that's the way to do it. Did I miss something obvious? Would this question be more appropriate for freebsd-stable? Should I try updating to the latest SNAP? Note: This was the majordomo from the Ports collection, v1.94.4...
