Re: [cobalt-users] email aliases not working HELP!

[erik hansen <erik@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

[root mail]# /usr/sbin/sendmail -bv eric@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
eric@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx User unknown
[root mail]# /usr/sbin/sendmail -bv eric@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
eric@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx deliverable: mailer local, user erik

> Can you post relevant lines from virtusertable and aliases?

root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx        root
nobody@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx       nobody
MAILER-DAEMON@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx       MAILER-DAEMON
sys@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx sys
clients@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  clients
eric@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx erik
MAILER-DAEMON@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx    MAILER-DAEMON
nobody@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx      nobody
erik@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx erik
sys@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx      sys


ok, so it seems that my aliases are getting written as user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
as opposed to user@xxxxxxxxxxx  unfortunately,  i have no idea of how to
correct this.
