My question is - why does smtpd output what it does - particularly the
"failed to update table" portion ?
Because _smtpd does not have read access to /etc/mail/aliases.
Hi Thomas,
Ah, you are correct! When I reset the permissions on: alias, alias.db
to the defaults you mentioned and then edited aliases and re-ran:
newaliases, all is good:
Jun 14 20:07:45 server smtpd[87551]: info: Table "aliases" successfully
updated
Silly mistake on my part ... I must have changed the permissions at some
point. Thanks for your help!
