Hi,
when installing SLES10 SP1 with autoyast, a profile like
<mail> <aliases config:type="list"> <alias> <alias>root</alias> <comment></comment> <destinations>bioroot@whatever,de</destinations> </alias> </aliases> </mail>
results in a /etc/aliases file with this content: rootbioroot@whatever.de
So all mails sent to root during or after the installation go to the root account of our toplevel domain (which is very bad...).
This worked in SLES10.
cu, Frank
And even if I remove the <aliases>..</aliases> part and just have
<mail> <connection_type config:type="symbol">permanent</connection_type> <from_header>our.domain.de</from_header> <listen_remote config:type="boolean">false</listen_remote> <mta config:type="symbol">sendmail</mta> <outgoing_mail_server>our.smtp.de</outgoing_mail_server> </mail>
the installation ends up with a completely empty /etc/aliases file, while all the predefined aliases (like postmaster, nobody etc.) is moved to /etc/aliases.YaST2.save. That doesn't sound like a good idea ;-)
