I tried making a makemap hash aliases.db < aliases (i have never ever had a alises.db) but then it just went apeshit when i recived a mail..

I just went through this with SuSE 6.3. After updating your aliases file, simply run (as root)

newaliases

to create a new aliases.db file. (I ran it from the /etc/mail directory.)

Correct. There are pros and cons to everything. Nothing new there.

It's all about coming to a compromise, given the pros and cons. Before you can arrive at a compromise, you have to be educated. That's what the links were for. Education, not a Jihad.

But yes, when it comes to solving a sendmail problem, I am biased. Replacing sendmail with qmail has worked for me. Individual results may vary. Void where prohibited.

Please bear with me on this one. I have been asked to evaluate sendmail versus qmail. I have experience with sendmail, but not qmail. The system programmers want qmail, so the CEO is asking me. I visited qmail's site, and qmail looks fine to me. So here it is: What are the strengths and weaknesses of each? I know it's asking much from a Linux user, but I must ask: Please be objective.

If I may offer a suggestion: Go to BUGTRAQ archives and do a search on each. That should yield some information- don't know how objective though.

I have been wondering about this myself. With Sendmail you'll find a bunch of known holes. Most have been fixed. It has been in use for a long time, it is well known. QMAIL and POSTFIX are new to the game, they have may have a few bug reports, Will they have as many bug reports when they have been around as long as sendmail has? Do they look good at the moment because they haven't been used as much as sendmail? Is the key to a secure site to keep changing your tools as they become familiar? -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

I think I've answered my question: 1. There is a standing cash offer for anyone discovering a security flaw in qmail; 2. hotmail.com uses qmail. I guess Microsoft decided to use something secure after their rash of break-ins. If it's good enough for Microsoft to use under Unix, it's good enough for me! If anyone wants to comment on my previous requestanyway, I would appreciate it. -- George Toft http://www.georgetoft.com -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
