Bug ID: 280117
Summary: parsing of aliases file rejects necessary syntax
Product: Base System
Version: 14.1-RELEASE
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
sendmail/newaliases now rejects aliases it has accepted for years. It won't
even accept some of it's own examples - for instance
msgs: "| /usr/bin/msgs -s"
generates a syntax error. So do aliases of this type:
csadmin: "John Radical" <[email protected]>,
"John Lind" <[email protected]>
It has accepted these aliases for YEARS.
BTW, while it will accept
msgs: "|/usr/bin/msgs"
it won't accept any spaces after the pipe symbol nor before parameters. Not
having spaces after the pipe symbol may be cosmetic (though it violates the
documentation) but not being able to have spaces to separate parameters is
problematic.
