Heh, and even if I do that, I don't end up with a /usr/local/sbin/mailman.aliases. It seems like something needs to tell newaliases about /etc/mailman.aliases, and the only thing I see in the instructions that could do it is a later step: 3. We have to tell sendmail about the new alias file. in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc find this line: define(`ALIAS_FILE', `/etc/aliases')dnl and change it to: define(`ALIAS_FILE', `/etc/aliases,/etc/mailman.aliases')dnl Run a make (or otherwise refresh sendmail.cf and then restart sendmail Now when we run newaliases, it will rebuild both alias files. Am I missing something? I feel like I'm groping around in the dark here. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
