Hello Managers,
I was still running the standard sendmail 5.65
I've just compiled sendmail 8.9.1 with the latest patch and when trying to
use it in test mode, I have the following error messages :
# /usr/sbin/sendmail.8.9.1 -bt
WARNING: Group writable directory /var
hash map "revaliases": unsafe map file /var/adm/sendmail/revaliases.db:
Group writable directory
hash map "Alias0": unsafe map file /var/adm/sendmail/aliases.db: Group
writable directory
dbm map "Alias0": unsafe map file /var/adm/sendmail/aliases
WARNING: cannot open alias database /var/adm/sendmail/aliases; reading text
version
ADDRESS TEST MODE (ruleset 3 NOT automatically invoked)
Enter <ruleset> <address>
>
I suppose that all the "Group writable directory" are just warning.
Then I've tried to recreate aliases and revaliases files and got some other
problems :
# /usr/sbin/sendmail.8.9.1 -bi -oA/var/adm/sendmail/aliases

So it's impossible to create new versions.
Thank you for your help.
