RE: [cobalt-users] sendmail/aliases problem

You need to edit the virtusertable as well.  This is primarily what sendmail
uses for connections.  Aliases only works for inbound traffic and doesn't
really handle multiple domains all that well.

The format for the file is

[ alias ] [ username ]

so

jdoe@xxxxxxxxxxxx		jdoe
john.doe@xxxxxxxxxxxx	jdoe

The first one in the list has priority.

And if you want consistency, go into psql and update the data in the
database.  You need to modify the aliases column of the users table.  Not
sure why they didn't provide a feature to rename users, or add additional
aliases in the GUI.

Subject: [cobalt-users] sendmail/aliases problem


I'm trying to manually add an alias to my aliases file & be able to use it.

I go in as root, edit the aliases file & save it.
I then run newaliases
    it tells me that there are xx # of aliases in aliases and yy number in
aliases.majordomo.  Both those numbers are correct.

When I look at the virtusertable after running newaliases, it hasn't added
the new aliases I added to the aliases file.

What am I missing?
