Strange one this, nothing has changed(?) on our AIX box running sendmail v8.11, but all of a sudden sendmail stopped appending mail to unknown users (aliases) to the dead.letter file.

Second box is working fine, it is a mksysb copy of the first, so sendmail.cf etc is exactly the same.

mailing to a bogus alias as user root displays 2 messages on stdout:
user unknown
appending email to dead.letter

Problem: It does not append to the dead.letter file. On the second box it does, as it should do.

Any ideas? IBM Certified Confused - MQSeries
