https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=289259 Bug ID: 289259 Summary: manpages aliases(5) and newaliases(1) aren't compatible with dma(8) Product: Base System Version: 15.0-CURRENT Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: michaelo@FreeBSD.org Note: Issue applies to all versions which have dma(8) as the default MTA. Both manpages are written for sendmail, not for dma. aliases(5): Lists aliases config which aren't deliberately supported by dma, yet they are in and confuse users. It talks about /etc/mail/aliases.db, but newaliases(1) from dma never writes it: 220 open("/etc/dma/dma.conf",O_RDONLY,0666) = 3 (0x3) 221 fstat(3,{ mode=-rw-r----- ,inode=849,size=2175,blksize=4096 }) = 0 (0x0) 222 read(3,"#\n# Your smarthost (also called"...,4096) = 2175 (0x87f) 223 read(3,0x2b38d2c27000,4096) = 0 (0x0) 224 close(3) = 0 (0x0) 225 open("/etc/aliases",O_RDONLY,0666) = 3 (0x3) 226 ioctl(3,TIOCGETA,0x193f86970874) ERR#25 'Inappropriate ioctl for device' 227 fstat(3,{ mode=-rw-r--r-- ,inode=66379,size=1595,blksize=4096 }) = 0 (0x0) 228 read(3,"# Aliases in this file will NOT"...,4096) = 1595 (0x63b) 229 read(3,0x2b38d2c27000,4096) = 0 (0x0) 230 ioctl(3,TIOCGETA,0x193f86970844) ERR#25 'Inappropriate ioctl for device' 231 ioctl(3,TIOCGETA,0x193f86970844) ERR#25 'Inappropriate ioctl for device' 232 close(3) = 0 (0x0) 233 _exit(0x0) 234 process exit, rval = 0 newaliases(1): Talks about rebuilding a database which is never built. dma parses /etc/aliases instead of using a database. There must be a better way to present information which dma actually supports. I have postfix on central relay host and it does bring its own manpages for both which contains the correct information. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
