Hi,
It seems that I've lost the command newaliases from my system.
I want of course to receive system log to my email address so I've created an alias for root -> email@domain
But now I can't make newaliases.
It worked before I've reinstalled mail toaster 3.36
How can I reinstall this function ?
Regards
Valken

Thank, for newalias it seems to work well.
I don't know why this conf file has changed.
Now I must made some tries.
I'll see.

Thank.
Now in my /etc/aliases file I have an entry for root ...
root: valken@mydomain
Then I do a newalias (as root of course)
But if I try to send an email to root...
>mail root
Subject:
...
...
Ctrl-D
It doesn't go to my mail box.
Any idea where the problem can come from ?

Do you have fastforward installed?
Without fastforward, qmail doesn't look at the /etc/aliases file at all. That's why the mailer.conf file was changed-- qmail doesn't have a "newaliases" command as such.
Do you need to use /etc/aliases, or would creating the aliases in a different way work for you? The usual qmail way is to create .qmail files, either in the user's directory, the domain's directory, or the /var/qmail/alias directory.

Thank a lot.
I've corrected the problem by adding my hostname (the one I can see by typing hostname) into /var/qmail/control/locals
Then restarted the services via...
>sudo services stop
>sudo services start
And everything is ok now.
