| + | ===== submit.cf ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | A workaround to prevent using submit file, is to crate a symbolic link between **/etc/mail/sendmail.cf** and **/etc/mail/submit.cf** (check section [[aix:sendmail#sendmail_configuration|sendmail.cf]]) | ||

| + | ===== aliases ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | alias configuration for sendmail in MSP mode (applicable only beyond AIX version 7200-04-02). | ||
| + | |||
| + | To configure the aliasing in sendmail, which runs in mail submission program mode (MSP). | ||
| + | Mail aliasing in sendmail, which is being run in mail submission program mode. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Steps | ||
| + | |||
| + | To configure the alias while sending a mail with sendmail in Mail Submission Program mode. Mailer flag in /etc/mail/submit.cf file should be modified to add alias flag "A" as part of F attribute. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Sample change to mailer flag in "/etc/mail/submit.cf" : | ||
| + | |||
| + | Mlocal, F=lmDFMuXkw5 | ||
| + | to | ||
| + | Mlocal, F=lmDFMAuXkw5 | ||
| + | |||
| + | Alias flag "A" is added to mailer as part of F attribute as shown above. | ||
| + | |||
| + | When adding a new alias into /etc/mail/aliases | ||
| + | |||
| + | Ex: | ||
| + | TEST: user@machine | ||
| + | testalias: TEST | ||
| + | | ||
| + | The /etc/mail/aliases file is a raw data file. The sendmail command uses a database version of this file. You must build a new alias database by running the sendmail -bi command or the newaliases command before any changes made to the /etc/mail/aliases file become effective. | ||
