does it work if you back out your changes? > Can someone give me some hints? The aliases.db file isn't supposed to be > 0 bytes. it is indeed not supposed to be 0 bytes; at least as far as mine goes... if it worked and you changed a thing and then it doesn't work, it might be a good idea in that situation to revert the change and then see if it can work again, if it works again, try the change again and maybe it was a bit of human error or so. it would also likely be *MUCH* easier to paste a copy of the aliases file (should've been in your original posting) than it would be to come up with a valid argument as to how anyone could provide an answer for you without having seen said source aliases file. run it through sed first: $ sed -nel < /etc/mail/aliases or (if you fancy) [EMAIL PROTECTED] sed -nel < /etc/mail/aliases and inspect. could help you spot any ambiguities. jared - [ openbsd 3.7 GENERIC ( jun 10 ) // i386 ]
