Sorry, I sent the last message too soon. I forgot to tell you something -
I made some changes and the response I get now when I enter newaliases is:
[root@sesgweb mail]# newaliases
WARNING: Group writable directory /home/mcuadm
WARNING: Group writable directory /home/mcuadm/src
newaliases: cannot open /home/mcuadm/src/majordom/majordomo.aliases: Group
writable file
/etc/aliases: 15 aliases, longest 49 bytes, 226 bytes total
newaliases: cannot open /etc/mail/majordomo.aliases: Group writable file
I don't get the "hash map "Alias2": unsafe map file..." error anymore.
Thanks for your help,
Diana
