Hi,

My system running under Solaris 9.
And sendmail does'nt want to use my aliases (in /etc/mail/aliases).
In my sendmail.cf and submit.cf the parameter
O AliasFile=/etc/mail/aliaises is enable.
My file /etc/mail/aliases is right formated.
Like :
root: toto

And I made a newaliases (like other unix systems).
When I send a mail to root, with mailx like :
mailx -v -s TEST root

Do you know if there are some trouble with sendmail installed during the
installation of Solaris 9 ?
Someone knows how to do to solve my trouble.

Other information :
I had ever patch my sendmail with the patch 113575-05.

Kind regards,

Vortex.

Did you take a look at your nsswitch.conf file? Also just make sure
the aliases database files were created.

What is the exact line in your sendmail.mc file that enables the
aliases?

Have you run newaliases?

Sorry I made a mistake in my first post : read aliases instead of aliaises.
The line concerning alias in my sendmail.mc is :

define(`ALIAS_FILE',`/etc/mail/aliases')dnl

Yes, the nsswitch.conf is good and enable in my sendmail configuration.
And the aliases database files are created .

What about creating a .forward file for root to point to the other
address?

I'll just assume you also created a new sendmail.cf file from
the sendmail.mc after changing it and restarted the daemon.

As root, run "/path/to/sendmail -bv root" and post the output.
