Delivery Failure notice when aliase has added
Hi Team,

Mails are coming proper on my server. But when i added a sendmail(/etc/mail/aliases) alias to redirect mails to a script, Its started giving delivery failure for the same id.


Can you tell me what can be the possible reason for this?and how can we sort it out. Its very urgent for me to make this working.

Looking forward for the help.

Thanks and Regards
Abhishek

Hi, what's the full error message ? Tip for troubleshooting : if you revert the changes, do you observe the same error ? Did you rebuild the aliases DB with 'newaliases' ?

"Newaliases rebuilds the random access data base for the mail aliases file /etc/mail/aliases. It must be run each time this file is changed in order for the change to take effect." - That's a quote from here.
