/etc/mail/aliases file

Postby Rafel Coyle » Tue Sep 04, 2007 11:06 am

How can I get Scalix to use the resulting alias pathing provided by the Sendmail Aliases file? I tried to use what Scalix provides but it does not follow the chained aliases. If in aliases I have mail aliases that send mail to john, bob, alan then I want the mail to be sent to them and whomever they are aliased to. I need the aliasing to follow the chain just like sendmail does.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If the Scalix SMTP relay cannot deliver a message because the address doesn't exist in Scalix, it will pass the message on to sendmail, which will do alias expansion (and possibly deliver back to Scalix), so what you want should work. I have a few aliases running this way for other things.

Are there any hints in your mail log as to what the expansion results in?
