I see how this works. Does anybody recommend giving all unix
accounts/pseudo-accounts on the machine have an alias? As it is, none
will receive mail, for example: `echo 'Hey you!' | mail apache -s 'msg
to apache'` results in a failure notice.
Below are all the pseudo account aliases from my /etc/aliases. Which
incidentally isn't technically part of sendmail...
[EMAIL PROTECTED]/0 ~]$rpm -qf /etc/aliases
setup-2.5.37-1.3
But Qmail definitely doesn't use it.
