Hello !
Context : DU 4.0B
Sendmail 8.8.5 (not Digital)
The machine is also our NIS master
Problem :
Sendmail does not expands NIS aliases (in mail.aliases)
sendmail woes : "xxxx... User unknown" when I send mail to a NIS alias
We have majordomo's mailing lists on a machine named "alpha"
and in order to let those lists available throughout or site
I have lines like :
the-real-thing alpha-osf-managers_at_alpha
in /var/yp/src/mail.aliases
so that users have just to know "the-real-thing"
Some more hints :
-It did work formerly (Ultrix NIS master and Ultrix basic sendmail).
-I have checked /etc/svc.conf : aliases : local,yp
-sendmail have been compiled with -DNIS option
-ypcat aliases "works"
-the lists works when targeted from machine "alpha", hence it is
only a NIS/sendmail problem, majordomo is not to be suspected
-non majordomo related alises fail as well
Any clues ?
TIA,
--
