I had it to

Hardkill sendmail or reboot, and then restart sendmail

Subject: [cobalt-users] majordomo killed by sendmail security update


Greetings

I have had a problem with majordomo since applying sendmail security 
update 16429. The update removed the directive to check 
/etc/mail/aliases.majordomo from sendmail.cf - I replaced this line, but

majordomo still fails -- conditionally. If I use mail from cli it works 
but if I use a gui mail client (like netscape) it fails. It also fails 
when sent from an outside program (for example the netbackup master
server).

I have looked through the sun knowledgebase for info, but found no 
additonal help there. Perhaps there is some detail I am missing? Again 
to recap:
1. Sendmail security update 16429 killed majordomo
2. I added back the line following line to sendmail.cf
O AliasFile=/etc/mail/aliases.majordomo
3. restarted sendmail
4. majordomo now works from the cli (see maillog below)
5. majordomo still fails for outside MTA (see maillog below)
6. /etc/mail/virtusertable has no errors after rebuild
#makemap hash /etc/mail/virtusertable < virtusertable

Any thoughts would be welcome. I need to get my maillist back up.
Thanks!
