sendmail issues - make fails to create aliases.db in /etc/mail

2010-01-12 Thread Jim
make in /etc/mail fails (silently) to create aliases.db. I touched all the source files I modified to make sure they would be rebuilt (since the last rebuild failed). What I am finding is that the command /usr/sbin/sendmail -bi -OAliasFile=/etc/mail/aliases is not creating aliases.db, nor is it

       What happens if you do a grep aliases in /etc/mail?  In my sensmail        files I see references to aliases in the config *.cf and Makefile,        and the aliases file itself. as in ls `/etc/mail | grep aliases` or `cat /etc/mail/* | grep aliases` The former shows the file 'aliases'

Looks like you're using postfix pretending to be sendmail.  Evidently postfix doesn't build aliases.db the same way.  You might try newaliases. I tried that, but it had an identical result. -Jim Stapleton ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing

       Yeah, that might work.  I had troubles with aliases and the database        and it didn't resolve itself until I ran newaliases.  But newaliases is        just a symlink to /usr/sbin/mailwrapper.  It calls /etc/mail/mail.conf        with newaliases which point to the *real* binary.
