Hi,
how are mails forwarded, if I do have the same alias pointing to two different users like this (two entries, two lines):
bon.aqua: coke bon.aqua: pepsi
Will coke and pepsi get the mail adressed to bon.aqua or will only the first entry get the mail?
I know, that "bon.aqua: coke, pepsi" will forward the mails to coke and pepsi,
Cheers,
Götz

That will not work.

You'll get a warning message
$ grep testme /etc/aliases testme: user1 testme: user2 $ newaliases /etc/aliases: line 105: testme... Warning: duplicate alias name testme /etc/aliases: 80 aliases, longest 10 bytes, 812 bytes total
I think the second entry will get the mail; aliases are stored as db or dbm files, and so only have one value per key. Sendmail doesn't merge keys. (At least looking at the resulting DB file I only see "user2" in the file).
I know, that "bon.aqua: coke, pepsi" will forward the mails to coke and pepsi,
That is the correct format. Use it :-)

:-) It must be monday ... I've looked up the warning (what I could have done before posting) and:
http://home.bolink.org/ebooks/networking/sendmail/ch24_04.htm
24.4.4 Duplicate Entries and Automation
Ordinarily, duplicate local names on the left-hand side of the colon in an alias file will result in an error. For example, consider this abstract from an aliases file:
staff: bob staff: george
Running newaliases on this file would produce the following error message and would cause the first entry to be ignored:
Warning: duplicate alias name george

Only one will get used, don't remember if the first or the last. I think it is the first.
I know, that "bon.aqua: coke, pepsi" will forward the mails to coke and pepsi,
So, why ask? ;-)

Because some coworkers "messed" up my alias file ... :-) And I was wondering if this setup will work.

I would certainly remove the quotation marks! A good time to talk about a policy who's allowed to make these changes ;-) You might also use Webmin for such tasks done by "co-workers" and allow only internal IP access. That would have also prevented wrong entries.

I install XAMPP in a server and know I want some binaries run as they were part of the system (I reaaly don't know if this correct). So I need that -pear- -pecl- and others run as:
#pear install [PACKAGE]
and not
#cd /path/to/pear/ && ./pear install [PACKAGE]
Same with rest
Best Regards

1. Don't hijack threads (use reply and then change the topic) 2. use yum install software. See "yum list php-pear* php-pecl*"
