Subject: [cobalt-users] majordomo@ failure after sendmail patch installs


I posted that my majordomo failed late last night and in my haze I thought I
fixed it. Wrong. It all worked till I installed the most recent 5 patches,
including the 2 sendmail patches.

Majodomo isn¹t accepting mail. I get this msg when attempting to mail:
majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx User unknown

Majordomo is in the virtusertable and in my majododom.alias files. How can I
revive it?

Or, now that its broken should I just install python and a newer majordomo
or mailmain?

The last Sendmail "Update" hoses your aliase file.  Easy Fix though!

pico /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

Search for 
# location of alias file
O AliasFile=/etc/mail/aliases

Change to:
# location of alias file
O AliasFile=/etc/mail/aliases,/etc/mail/aliases.majordomo

Then save & exit

/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail restart

And you will be working! :)

Thanks,
