Bonjour. I installed 4.9 today and found that aliasing doesn't work as per included sendmail files and so on but there's a workaround available from the archives that get's me where I want to be. So, notification (hi Gilles) of a continuing issue from 4.8 with a slightly different log entry and a nudge for anyone else that's struggling with aliases to local from outside.
For the speed readers: This won't work in aliases ... postmaster:root This will work in aliases ... postmaster:root@your.domain In the first instance, mail to postmaster@ won't get rejected and it won't get to root's account ... it will get caught in a local loop (reported in the logs) and get nowhere. In the second instance, mail to postmaster@ will get to root's account. Problem: http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=129656834314699&w=2 Workaround: http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=129437721417326&w=2 cat smtpd.conf: server="my.domain" listen on lo0 listen on external_if map "aliases_local" { source plain "/etc/mail/aliases_local" } accept from all for domain $server alias aliases_local deliver to mbox accept from local for all relay cat aliases_local: postmaster:root@my.domain No cats were harmed. Caveat ... I'm getting my feet wet with mail on smtpd so if this is expected behaviour ... have a larf and some vino and let me know. Best wishes.
