But thus it does not work. Here's the setup I use: /usr/lib/aliases: faq-aix: "|/usr/local/bin/faq" faq has following access rights (seems OK to me): -rwsr-sr-x 1 listserv listserv 43844 Apr 23 15:45 /usr/local/bin/faq The sendmail.cf prog mailer is defined as: Mprog, P=/bin/sh, F=flsDFMe, S=10, R=20, A=sh -c $u When a local user sends mail to faq-aix (/usr/lib/sendmail -v -t) I get a correct execution: faq-aix@fifi.univ-lyon1.fr... aliased to "|/usr/local/bin/faq" "|/usr/local/bin/faq"... Connecting to .prog... "|/usr/local/bin/faq"... Sent When a remote user sends mail to faq-aix, the 'faq' module never finishes. To see where it locks up, I added as first statements of the application: fgetc(stdin); exit(0); In the "local" case it's ok with ot without the fgetc, when the mail is remote, the application locks on the fgetc (as waiting). It seems that the sendmail does not forward the incomming mail to the application. Any suggestion? My fault?
