SUMMARY: sendmail [unsafe map file /etc/mail/aliases]

• Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] [ attachment ]

Many thanks for the quick response from everyone.

The problem was caused by the permissions (as most people suggested) but on
the /etc directory (which was group writeable) rather than the
/etc/mail/aliases file itself. After a "chmod g-w /etc" & running newaliases
everything is fine.

The original message is listed below.

Thanks,
Mark
