Does anyone know of a tool to check the syntax and validity of an
/etc/mail/aliases sendmail aliases file? I upgraded a solaris 9 server
to rev -9 of the 113575 sendmail patch, and now I am getting odd behavior
from my aliases file. A newaliases reports into /var/log/syslog that it is
rebuilt without error.
I have several entries of the form
localaddr: remoteaddr@remotecompany.com
in the aliases file. So sending email to "localaddr" has worked fine for
years. Now there is suddenly a 7 or 8 minute delay. Bypassing the alias
and sending email directly to "remoteaddr@remotecompany.com" is nice and
fast as I would expect. So something wierd happened when I installed
113575-09, but I am not sure what... btw, the vast majority of the aliases
in this file seem to be fine. Its just a few specific ones that have this
wierd delay.
TIA, and I will summarize.
