I'm not sure if there was *ever* a Sendmail release that had "newaliases" but didn't support detecting a database update on the fly.... ############################ To unsubscribe from the LSTSRV-L list: write to: mailto:[log in to unmask] or click the following link: http://peach.ease.lsoft.com/scripts/wa.exe?SUBED1=LSTSRV-L&A=1
