Re: [Mailman-Users] Install issue on Mac OS 10.2.3
Right, it's now OK with that change. Thank you. My only problem now is with Sendmail : sudo newaliases /etc/mail/aliases: line 1: alias line too long /etc/mail/aliases: 0 aliases, longest 0 bytes, 0 bytes total Everything seems to be OK with the alias file : – it's a plain text file – 1st line is a comment – 1st uncommented line has 23 chars (root: [TAB] username) and also with the sendmail.cf : O AliasFile=/etc/mail/aliases I really don't understand what's wrong in that stuff...

End of the story ! Return chars were not understood as new line with the BBEdit default settings, so my file seemed to have only 1 line, and too long of course... After changing BBEdit prefs, it works finally !
