The problem is that sendmail does not seem to be looking at my aliases file at all. Here is my setup: ali# grep send /etc/rc.conf sendmail_enable="NO" sendmail_submit_enable="YES" sendmail_msp_queue_enable="YES" ali# The only thing I changed from the default freebsd.mc file in /etc/mail was to uncomment/add the line: dnl Dialup users should uncomment and define this appropriately define(`SMART_HOST', `smtp.washington.edu') to hand off email to the campus-wide delivery system in /etc/aliases I have: # Pretty much everything else in this file points to "root", so # you would do well in either reading root's mailbox or forwarding # root's email from here. root: mbw, ncosgray Which I would assume will fwd mail to root to those 2 users... But when I run a test: ali# /usr/sbin/sendmail -v root < /dev/null LOG: MAIN <= root@u.washington.edu U=root P=local S=310 ali# Connecting to smtp.washington.edu [140.142.33.9]:25 ... connected SMTP<< 220 smtp.washington.edu ESMTP Sendmail 8.12.11+UW04.02/8.12.11+UW04.02; Wed, 25 Feb 2004 16:11:30 -0800 SMTP>> EHLO ali.csde.washington.edu SMTP<< 250-smtp.washington.edu Hello ali.csde.washington.edu, pleased to meet you 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES 250-PIPELINING 250-EXPN 250-VERB 250-8BITMIME 250-SIZE 60000000 250-ETRN 250-AUTH GSSAPI 250-STARTTLS 250-DELIVERBY 250 HELP SMTP>> STARTTLS SMTP<< 220 2.0.0 Ready to start TLS SMTP>> EHLO ali.csde.washington.edu SMTP<< 250-smtp.washington.edu Hello ali.csde.washington.edu, pleased to meet you 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES 250-PIPELINING 250-EXPN 250-VERB 250-8BITMIME 250-SIZE 60000000 250-ETRN 250-AUTH GSSAPI PLAIN LOGIN 250-DELIVERBY 250 HELP SMTP>> MAIL FROM: SIZE=1341 SMTP>> RCPT TO: SMTP>> DATA SMTP<< 250 2.1.0 ...
