Hello Will, Indeed, newaliases runs every few minutes as part of the alias gathering routines. In fact, I tested that part, and as far as the "local" server was concerned, sendmail -bv email at domain.com was set to route correctly. The problem I got was that any server connecting to the machine to send mail to the domain on the recently added IP would be rejected. Thanks for pondering. -- Best regards, Mickael mailto:centos at silverservers.com Thursday, October 6, 2005, 1:33:37 AM, you wrote: > On 05/10/05, Mickael Maddison <centos at silverservers.com> wrote: >> When adding the IP, any domains pointing to the IP are added to the >> local-host-names file, their email aliases are all configured, and >> sendmail is restarted.
