Sendmail / Email copy - Fixed

[admin at kclinux.net]

It did work, in a way.  I ssh'ed into the box, and manually edited
/etc/aliases.  

I ran newaliases, and it worked on sending it to the PCS phones and the
pager, but the account no longer was getting the emails when checked via
IMAP.  

After playing around, I changed the line for this account:
emergency: SPRINT-PCS-EMAIL,SPRINT-PCS-EMAIL,SPRINT-PCS-EMAIL,PAGER-NUMER
to this:
emergency:
SPRINT-PCS-EMAIL,SPRINT-PCS-EMAIL,SPRINT-PCS-EMAIL,PAGER-NUMER,emergency

Adding the emergency to the end of the line got the emails going back to the
local account, and it's now going to all the PCS phones and pager.

Thanx so much for that tip.  I though restarting sendmail would of loaded
the new aliases, but I guess not.  The newaliases command worked, and then
adding the local account name to the end, got the emails going to the
account.

Well if the "newaliases" doesn't work, did you actually edit a sendmail
alias in /etc/mail? If yes, did you run "make -C /etc/mail" to have
sendmail re-generate it's internal DB's?

The steps I would do, is:

1. Edit the appropriate file in /etc/mail.
2. Run: "make -C /etc/mail"
3. Run: "service sendmail restart"

It's possible none of what I'm saying will work, but it won't hurt
either.
