The other day My sendmail server's aliases stopped working. When typing in 'newaliases' I get the following error
babylon5:/etc# newaliases Cannot open hash database /etc/mail/aliases.db: Invalid argument WARNING: cannot open alias database /etc/mail/aliases Cannot create database for alias file /etc/mail/aliases babylon5:/etc# opening the aliases file, it looks normal. I moved a working aliases.db file from a different working server, and still had the same problem. I finnally, just decided to re-install sendmail. I removed the sendmail package from the server. Then, manually removed the /etc/mail folder. I then re-installed sendmail, and after configuration, I get Cannot open hash database /etc/mail/aliases.db: Invalid argument WARNING: cannot open alias database /etc/mail/aliases Cannot create database for alias file /etc/mail/aliases What's the deal?
