Hello,
However, the output from: newaliases shows:
$ doas newaliases
/etc/mail/aliases: 69 aliases
Test messages also show that the changes to the aliases file are being
picked up.
That should not be the case. But hard to tell without the full config.
The current permissions I have on: /etc/mail/aliases are:
-rw-r----- 1 root wheel 2.1K Jun 14 17:31 aliases
-rw-r----- 1 root wheel 64.0K Jun 14 17:31 aliases.db
... and I don't believe I've changed the file permissions (please
correct me if this isn't the default set of permissions).
The default is
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2045 Oct 28 2022 aliases
My question is - why does smtpd output what it does - particularly the
"failed to update table" portion ?
Because _smtpd does not have read access to /etc/mail/aliases.
