What were you trying to do?
Trying to get mkserv mail to work correctly with local aliases.
The behaviour is that a person on the list doesn't get a copy of the message
if he sent it to an alias he's on.
What's wrong:
the /etc/mail/sendmail.cf does not have a "Om" (also known
as the MeToo option.
What should have happened:
I think the default Athena sendmail.cf should have the option
but commented out and mkserv mail should uncomment it:
cp /etc/mail/sendmail.cf /etc/mail/sendmail.cf.old
sed -n -e '/^#Om/Om/' -e p /etc/mail/sendmail.cf.old >> /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
(though that might not be proper syntax - you get the idea)
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
The O'reilly sendmail book
