One fix I found to this problem is O AliasFile=nis:mail.aliases in each sendmail.cf file :b! Brian D. McGrew { brian@xxxxxxxxxxxxx || brian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx } -- > This is a test.

On Solaris if I 'mail brian', it gets redirected to my alias; but on Linux if I 'mail brian' it gets delivered locally. What am I missing? What do I need to do to make sendmail consult the NIS alias files??? Thanks :b! Brian D. McGrew { brian@xxxxxxxxxxxxx || brian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx } -- > This is a test. This is only a test!
