[BlueOnyx:05746] Re: 550 User unknown when sent to alias

[Chuck Tetlow]

Yea,

I've seen that exact behavior, when we migrated from more than 10 Bluequartz servers to three Blueonyx servers.

After using cmuImport to get all the sites on the new box - I made it a habit to use these commands as root from the command line:
service sendmail stop
newaliases
service sendmail start

Sometimes the CMU utility does not correctly rerun the alias build program (newaliases) - and they are not applied.  Remaking the alias tables with the "newaliases" command and restarting sendmail to fixed the problem every time for me.
