I have been using smail as the mail transport agent on a hamm system. Recently I tried to install the 12000 line aliases file that we keep on all our instructional machines. I found that this caused smail to grind to a halt. Apparently smail doesn't create dbm files when newaliases is run.
Would qmail be a better alternative as a MTA? If it can resolve aliases faster it would certainly help. I would prefer not to install sendmail unless absolutely necessary. My memories of trying to configure sendmail are not pleasant memories. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
