error building Aliases

[jzhu]

Hi all,

I got the following error just as I finished editing /usr/lib/mail/aliases and issued the command newaliases to make it effective.

Warning: .cf file is out of date: sendmail 8.11.0 supports version 9, .cf file i
s version 5
hash map "Alias0": unsafe map file /usr/lib/mail/aliases.db: Symbolic links not
allowed
/usr/lib/mail/aliases: 30 aliases, longest 34 bytes, 1131 bytes total

Any idea what might be the cause?

Thanks indeed,

Joe

What did you upgrade from?

My alias file is in /etc/mail not in /usr/lib/mail/alias

Is it possible that the previous sendmail.mc pointed to one location, when the new sendmail binaries are expecting another?
