Anybody know if the sendmail :include: directive works in NeXTstep 2.1? Or, if not, anybody know how to fix this, by, say, getting source from somewhere else? The problem is probably a NetInfo conflict, so that may not work very well. I am reluctant to try it myself and kill mail for the time being on my machine. ------ Mike Matthews, matthews@lewhoosh.umd.edu (NeXT)/matthews@umdd (bitnet) ------ Those who can, do.

Those who can't, simulate. Works just fine. In some previous release, however, I found I had to add an extra member, (generally "nobody"), to the netinfo entry after the :include:/filepath. Unfortunately, can't remember why...as I recall, the last member of the mailing list was getting dropped without this. I have found, however, that under 2.0, if an address in the mailing list include file is stale, sendmail will die at that point, and refuses to distribute the mail to the rest of the recipients in the list. Anyone else have this problem? -glen grd@ccrma.stanford.edu

My use of aliases (in /usr/lib/aliases) seems to have broken under 2.0--it worked fine for a couple days, and now when the newalias comman builds, it doesn't change the NetInfo database at all. Any ideas? Common experiences so we can figure out what is going on? evenson@hitl.vrnet.washington.edu
