I am trying to make mailman work with exim4 and need to enable the
possibility of piping to programs in the /etc/aliases file. Does anyone
know how to do that? The /usr/share/doc/exim4-base/README.Debian.gz file
says that piping is disabled by default

Hi there,
I'm using debian unstable and exim4 and forwarding a bunch of
mail on for another system using /etc/aliases
Firstname.Lastname: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Firstname1.Lastname1: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
etc.

I have /etc/aliases, recreated /etc/aliases.db using newaliases even

I have used a number of addresses in my whois records and they always
are some of my top spammed email addresses.

Ok, so I'm now getting spam sent to (and forged from) usernames listed
in my /etc/aliases file.
Things like "postmaster" I'll need to keep, but I'm wondering what would
break if I change things to:
bin: :fail: Unknown User
Here's my list of aliases. Do any
now that spamassassin/woody is working on my server

he first to get installed on new systems it finds the system without
an /etc/aliases file and creates one. It places the comment there to
that effect.
When postfix is installed it keeps the comments in /etc/aliases. Or
rather more precisely the postrm script of exim does not remove the
comments it

I have a file: /etc/aliases that has me a bit confused as to it's
care and maintenance.
The head of the file says it was generated by exim, which I
thought I purged and replaced with postfix. I made some changes
to the file...
I am not getting errors that the aliases file is newer tha

Sorry for that, I've found the answer -- obviously there *was*
another solution! :) I've been doing it wrong fr
For some reason, I cannot send mail to root directly anymore -- and
I know the cause; I've set up postfix to rewrite the address
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to my real e-mail address, thus [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since
this rewrites *all* occurrence of the above, writing mail root
results in mail to [EMAIL PROTECT

For example look /var/mail . There should be messages for bob or cat

Hi,
I want mail delivered to my username different from my username at the mail
server. so I set up /etc/aliases file to point any mail that is sent bob
should go to username cat instead.
bob:cat
however, it doesnt work. I can see mail being downloaded for bob but it
doesn't get forward
Sorry, can't find the original mail to quote, nor did I see a reply.
This comes from the majordomo README file... I ran into the same
problems you did trying to create aliases and probably spent as
long as you looking for the answer. I am able to confirm that
it works with Smail 3.2-3

Thanx for the tip.
In the meantime, I've came up with an alternate way to do
[please CC: replies to me]
The subject pretty much says it all...
I accidentally deleted the /etc/aliases on a machine using sendmail 8.8.7,
but I still have the compiled /etc/aliases.db around. Is there a way to
recover the original file?

Hi,
Is this a "normal" behaviour?
