I have solaris 9 and sendmail 8.12.9.
I'm not using Sun's out of the box sendmail binary or there sendmail.cf,
we use our own tweaked version.
I get this error when I try to send mail to an entry in the aliases file
mailx -v root@host.llnl.gov
Subject: test message
this is a test message
.
EOT
host# Warning: .cf file is out of date: sendmail 8.12.9 supports version 10, .cf file is version 0
dbm map "Alias0": unsafe map file aliases: No such file or directory
root... WARNING: cannot open alias database aliases; reading text version
root... queued
The permissions on /etc/mail/aliases as well as /etc and /etc/mail are correct.
aliases is a plain text file. Does it need to be made into a db type file
that sendmail can understand?
I have an entry in my aliases file for root
root: admin@host.llnl.gov
So, mail sent to root should be redirected to admin@host.llnl.gov but the error
message above shows up.
Anyone know a fix for this?
Thanks Much.
