Hi all:

Running on Solaris 8. I do not want to run sendmail in the daemon mode (-bd) so I have modified the DS directive, the Cw, created the /etc/default/sendmail file with "MODE=", etc...

The sendmail is not running in -bd mode and I can send mail to my usr account.

When I try to send mail to root, it does not honor the aliases inputs. I have tried with the short names and the long names. I have definitely issued the newaliases command, I have verified in the sendmail.cf file the location of the aliases file, etc. Any ideas?

Many thanks!
 
Can you post your aliases file? Also try doing a mailx -v to show the connection.
