[SLUG] Sendmail aliases

2001-09-20 Thread Peter McCarthy

Howdy all

I have just migrated our mail server to RH 7.1 and have noticed something
different with respect to aliases.
In the previous version of sendmail you were not included  in the aliases list
if you sent and email.
eg alias - user1,user2,user3
If user1 sends an email to alias then only user2 and user3 would get it.
This new version of sendmail all three get the email.
I would prefer the old verion way of doing things, does anyone know of a switch
(possibly in sendmail.mc ?) that would allow this behaviour ?

Thanx

PMc

Does anyone bother to RTFM or STFW?  From www.sendmail.org:

confME_TOO  [False] Include sender in group expansions.

So to turn it off, add this to your .mc file:

define(`confME_TOO', False)dnl


Cheers,

John

You probably should be looking at changes in procmail instead...
