You have 2 choices, the default of the RPM is to just use the
/etc/aliases file. As you get more advanced, you may want to
try separating your regular aliases from majordomo.aliases by
using the /etc/mail/majordomo.aliases file and adding that
file name to your sendmail.cf.
# location of alias file
O AliasFile=/etc/aliases, /etc/mail/majordomo.aliases
One other "heads up" about the RPM install, check your $whereami
variable in /etc/majordomo.cf. If it = "`/bin/dnsdomainname`";,
add this to the line immediately following the $whereami.
chomp $whereami;
or change `/bin/dnsdomainname` to your fully qualified hostname.
