How do I make sendmail use the pathalias database? I assume you are running Sun's sendmail. There is no simple way that I know of to do pathalias in Sun's sendmail itself. You can install the smail package and have Sun's sendmail invoke the smail agent for uucp mail. This isn't as powerful as doing the pathalias from within sendmail itself. You can get pathalias support in the PD version of sendmail from uunet.uu.net (uunet to those poor uucp-only sites ;-)).

Be prepared to spend a few days on understanding it. It is well spent time. -wolfgang -- Wolfgang Rupprecht wolfgang@wsrcc.com (or) uunet!wsrcc!wolfgang Snail Mail Address: Box 6524, Alexandria, VA 22306-0524
