Hi:                                                                                                
                                                                                                   
Normally I love to find the answer myself to issues like this one, but                             
some of my mailing list users are getting cranky.                                                  
                                                                                                   
I installed the 3/3/3 sendmail security update for 8.11.6 via RPM.                                 
                                                                                                   
afterwards, aliases stopped expanding when my local domain is specified:                           
(there is no local user allison, btw)                                                              
                                                                                                   
[davidw@ip davidw]$ grep floozy /etc/aliases                                                       
allison: [email protected]                                                                        
                                                                                                   
[davidw@ip davidw]$ /usr/lib/sendmail -bv allison                                                  
[email protected]... deliverable: mailer esmtp, host floozy.com., user                            
[email protected]                                                                                 
                                                                                                   
[davidw@ip davidw]$ /usr/lib/sendmail -bv [email protected]                                          
[email protected]... deliverable: mailer local, user davidw                                          
                                                                                                   
so why isn't this last one getting expanded to [email protected], but is                          
instead being sent to the default local user, davidw?                                              
                                                                                                   
tia,
