My first guess is that your MTA is using a different aliases file than the one(s) you are looking at. That would be caused by a configuration error. I've never heard of sm-mta before, so I can't help you with the actual configuration.

If you have any feel free to contact me.: -rw-r--r--1 root smmsp 12288 Nov 30 22:04 aliases.db No, it's not very logical, at least at first sight. All the error is saying is that the timestamp on /etc/mail/aliases.db is older than the one in the /etc/aliases file and you should therefore run 'newaliases'. However, you explained you did this already and it didn't seem to fix the problem. Pay attention to the output of the 'newaliases' command and see if it is using the default aliases file you expect. Just to give you an idea, I upgraded Sendmail on a Red Hat box recently and it created a new aliases file under the /etc/mail directory. I wasn't aware of it and continued editing my usual /etc/aliases file, but my changes were never taking effect. After a few minutes pulling my hair, I realized all of a sudden that 'newaliases' was reading input from /etc/mail/aliases. Perhaps something similar may be happening to you here.
