Hervey, Please wrap your messages before eighty columns. > When receiving mail, postfix complains that it cannot open > /etc/aliases.db. I modifed the main.cf file and set $aliases_database to > point to /etc/mail/aliases.db but postfix still complained about > /etc/aliases.db. In your main.cf, you should probably have two lines like this: alias_maps = hash:/etc/mail/aliases alias_database = hash:/etc/mail/aliases To update the database after you have changed the aliases file, run # postalias /etc/mail/aliases and your /etc/mail/aliases.db will be updated with the new aliases. If you are more familiar with sendmail, then this is the equivalent of running "newaliases". -Andrew- -- _______________________________________________________________________ | -Andrew J.
