Bug ID: 289259
Summary: manpages aliases(5) and newaliases(1) aren't
compatible with dma(8)
Product: Base System
Version: 15.0-CURRENT
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Note: Issue applies to all versions which have dma(8) as the default MTA.
Both manpages are written for sendmail, not for dma.
aliases(5): Lists aliases config which aren't deliberately supported by dma,
yet they are in and confuse users. It talks about /etc/mail/aliases.db, but
newaliases(1) from dma never writes it:
220 open("/etc/dma/dma.conf",O_RDONLY,0666) = 3 (0x3)
221 fstat(3,{ mode=-rw-r----- ,inode=849,size=2175,blksize=4096 }) = 0 (0x0)
222 read(3,"#\n# Your smarthost (also called"...,4096) = 2175 (0x87f)
223 read(3,0x2b38d2c27000,4096) = 0 (0x0)
224 close(3) = 0 (0x0)
225 open("/etc/aliases",O_RDONLY,0666) = 3 (0x3)
226 ioctl(3,TIOCGETA,0x193f86970874) ERR#25 'Inappropriate ioctl for
device'
227 fstat(3,{ mode=-rw-r--r-- ,inode=66379,size=1595,blksize=4096 }) = 0 (0x0)
228 read(3,"# Aliases in this file will NOT"...,4096) = 1595 (0x63b)
229 read(3,0x2b38d2c27000,4096) = 0 (0x0)
230 ioctl(3,TIOCGETA,0x193f86970844) ERR#25 'Inappropriate ioctl for
device'
231 ioctl(3,TIOCGETA,0x193f86970844) ERR#25 'Inappropriate ioctl for
device'
232 close(3) = 0 (0x0)
233 _exit(0x0)
234 process exit, rval = 0
newaliases(1): Talks about rebuilding a database which is never built.
dma parses /etc/aliases instead of using a database.
There must be a better way to present information which dma actually supports.
I have postfix on central relay host and it does bring its own manpages for
both which contains the correct information.
