I am pretty sure you don't tell us whole truth. KJ -- http://wolnelektury.pl/wesprzyj/teraz/ I do enjoy a good long walk -- especially when my wife takes one.

I don't know anything about opensmtpd, but use exim4 where, to send emails to other hosts on the LAN, AIUI you either need a DNS server that can resolve the LAN addresses or, instead, a hubbed hosts file.

Perhaps your MTA has a log file where to find clues? Cheers & good luck -- tomás signature.asc Description: PGP signature

The MTAs I know of all have inherited that. And... if your MTA distro came with a command "newaliases" try running that. Many MTAs like to look things up in a hashed version of the textual file.

Aliases and OpenSMTPD
Folks: This may require someone who's familiar with OpenSMTPD. I have a machine which does backups (buckaroo) and a desktop (yosemite) which is my main machine. When anacron kicks off the backup, it should create an email for root to detail what happened. Buckaroo is headless, so I want that email to come to me at yosemite. (All this is on a LAN.) I'm using OpenSMTPD on buckaroo to handle mail. Here's my config: --- # $OpenBSD: smtpd.conf,v 1.10 2018/05/24 11:40:17 gilles Exp $ # This is the smtpd server system-wide configuration file. # See smtpd.conf(5) for more information. table aliases file:/etc/aliases table secrets file:/etc/secrets listen on localhost action "relay" relay host smtp+notls://@yosemite.mars.lan:25 auth match from local for any action "relay" --- If I send an email directly to pa...@yosemite.mars.lan from buckaroo, it arrives. That means this config can do what it's designed to do, basically. However, mails to "root" on buckaroo don't get to yosemite. They should, because my /etc/aliases table looks like this: --- ... rootpa...@yosemite.mars.lan --- But it appears that OpenSMTPD doesn't consult this table unless explicitly instructed to. According to man smtpd.conf(5), you can tell it to scan through aliases, but only on local delivery, not if the email is outbound. So does anyone know how to make OpenSMTPD do alias conversions on outbound mail? Or alternatively, is there a way to hack Debian so that mails generated from root processes to go an offsite email rather than just root? Paul -- Paul M.
