Yes i have run newalias many times. At first the time stamp was not updating on the aliases.db file. After setting the aliases_database and alias_maps the time stamps started to update, however postfix still does not seem to be following the /etc/aliases directions since I still don't get roots emails.

I just sent an email to root from the localhost and got this
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: data format error. Command output: root: Mailbox does not exist
Witch is what I get when trying to send to mailman lists.


Secondly yes I am an entomologist. I got my MS at OSU with David Shetlar and am working now at Davis with Larry Godfrey.

Hi Wade,

Did you run the newlalias command after you editted /etc/aliases?

Is it possible that there is another entomologist on this list? :)

Hello,

I'm new to the list and apparently a week late but I am in desperate
need of help with my mail/mailman server.

I'm not sure where the problem lies but first off I cant get post fix to
send mail from the correct virtual domain.

The server has a domain name of

"extent0006.entomology.ohio-state.edu"
and a virtual name of
"bugs.osu.edu

I want all the mail to appear to be from [EMAIL PROTECTED] not
extent00.... (for obvious reasons)


secondly when ever I create a mailing list in mail man and try to send
mail to it I get this:

data format error. Command output: ****: Mailbox does not exist

Google insists this is an aliasing issue and I can believe it but I can
see that the lists are listed in /etc/mailman/aliases

but along with that postfix doesn't seem to be paying any attention to
/etc/aliases since I'm not getting any root email sent to my aliased
address.

I understand that this is confusing and I would be more then willing to
share any config or files.
