To verify aliases and to confirm that mail can or cannot be delivered to a specified recipient, follow these instructions.
Display the aliases and identify that the final address is deliverable or not deliverable.
% /usr/lib/sendmail -v -bv recipient |
recipient |
Specify a recipient's alias. |
The following is an example of the output.
% /usr/lib/sendmail -v -bv sandy sandy... aliased to ssmith ssmith... aliased to sandy@phoenix sandy@phoenix... deliverable: mailer esmtp, host phoenix, user sandy@phoenix.example.com % |
Avoid loops and inconsistent databases when both local and domain-wide aliases are used. Be especially careful when you move a user from one system to another to avoid the creation of alias loops.
