https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=280117 Bug ID: 280117 Summary: parsing of aliases file rejects necessary syntax Product: Base System Version: 14.1-RELEASE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: steinhelten@gmail.com sendmail/newaliases now rejects aliases it has accepted for years. It won't even accept some of it's own examples - for instance msgs: "| /usr/bin/msgs -s" generates a syntax error. So do aliases of this type: csadmin: "John Radical" <jrad@gmail.com>, "John Lind" <john@starfire.mn.org> It has accepted these aliases for YEARS. BTW, while it will accept msgs: "|/usr/bin/msgs" it won't accept any spaces after the pipe symbol nor before parameters. Not having spaces after the pipe symbol may be cosmetic (though it violates the documentation) but not being able to have spaces to separate parameters is problematic.
