Where are you seeing this error.....maillog?

I see the message on the screen, after running newaliases

What are you doing to generate this error?

I just executed newaliases, but a didn`t make any changes in aliases file.

The
Code:
Warning: .cf file is out of date:

message in my environment is related to the sendmail.cf not matching up to my .mc file. In my environment that is acceptable because the sendmail.cf file was built on a different server and then copied to this server. I see this message when running /usr/sbin/newaliases.

The
Code:
hash map "Alias0": unsafe map file /etc/mail/aliases.db:

message would lead me to believe that you just need to change the permissions to 644 so the others field does not have write privileges.

The
Code:
dbm map "Alias0": unsafe map file /etc/mail/aliases:

message looks obvious in it states that the file does not exist. That may not be the case though, does that file exist?

yes, it does exist!!, i dont know why this error!!


As for the local host name WARNING I am not sure. Just guessing that the hostname is not listed in the /etc/hosts file with the full domain attached to it.

What does the command below return?
Code:
hostname

I executed hostname, and it gave me, the hostname (BAANPRO), so i dont know whats happening here :S

I need some help!!!! please!

I hope this helps in some way.

I'm not receiving any mail, after the execution of any cron, and /var/spool/mqueue is getting full frecuently
