Anybody have any problems with the Duplicate Email Alias 2.0.1 patch (RaQ4-All-System-2.0.1-13993.pkg) ? I searched the archives + google and couldn't find anything. After installing this patch, everything seemed to work just fine, until I messed around in the GUI under a vhost..and noticed that I received an error if I had an email alias set to "www.domain.com"....now I have read that this isn't correct, but I've never had any email problems with both "www.domain.com" and "domain.com" as email aliases. Since the GUI would not let me save with "www.domain.com", I deleted it, then the GUI let me save okay. However, shortly afterward, emails sent to that particular domain began to bounce. I ran makemap hash virtusertable.db < virtusertable which yielded errors. I corrected the errors, but the emails continued to bounce. All DNS entires are correct. I compared the new sendmail.cf to the old sendmail.cf, and saw numerous changes. I then backed up the new sendmail.cf, copied the old sendmail.cf to sendmail.cf, restarted sendmail and now everything works....(with the email aliases set as "www.domain.com" and "domain.com"...........WTF? So if anyone else has had a problem with this patch, do let me know. I'm quite curious as to how the problem was solved, if at all. 
TIA,
Mike



When you set up a site as
host            www
domain  domain.com
alias           domain.com
email alias     domain.com
You do not need to put www.domain.com under the email alias as each site set up has email by default and it is as user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx or user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx You only need an alias of domain.com if you don't want to use the @www.domain.com
If you had errors creating the virtusertable, we would like to know what they were. Do you make all your changes via the GUI or only some. If you only make some, that is probably why the errors as the two do not sync up.
