Hi list!<br>
<br>
Ive upgraded my server hardware and at the same time decided to jump to
5209R as we are running 5208R so this seemed a logical step forward.<br>
I tried this about twelve months ago and failed after stumbling on the
same aliases issue.<br>
At the time we moved office and had to co host out to Virtbiz for a
while as our leased line took six months to get installed.<br>
I had the same issue then so just ran the old VM back up again and let
things be.<br>
I would really like to crack this.<br>
<br>
Basically, none of the aliases will work after a migration between the
boxes.<br>
Everything else seems to work fine so far during testing.<br>
<br>
I purchased the solarspeed backup / restore to see if this would work
but it makes no difference.<br>
I guess this just automates the CMU export and import to make things
easier from the GUI.<br>
<br>
I hate to ask for help but have spent another three days trying to find
out what the issue could be.<br>
Ive read back over all the post I could find on the mail list and tried
them all.<br>
<br>
When trying to send an email to an alias, email reports "user unknown".<br>
<br>
Followed the CMU migration steps precisely on blueonxy.it (except the
MYSQL imports which I did manually in the end).<br>
<br>
Things I have tried.....<br>
<br>
I don't think its a DNS issue unless 5209R handles things differently to
5208R.<br>
With the current DNS setup, 5208R works a dream.<br>
Ive tried the naming alterations to no avail.<br>
<br>
makemap hash runs without errors.<br>
<br>
Ive tried forcing things (by removing aliases, saving then putting them
back in again).<br>

So it all appears to be working in the background.<br>
<br>
Kicking sendmail every time with a manual restart and even a whole
reboot.<br>
<br>
Ive found a post by Chris @ Virtbiz about changing <span
style="font-family: monospace;"></span>/etc/mail/virtusertable.mailman.db<span
style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#0070C0"></span><a
href="http://www.magma-group.co.uk/" target="_blank"><span
style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#0070C0"></span></a><span
style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#0070C0"><o:p></o:p></span>
and recompiling.<br>
Chris says it occurs only on a mailman enabled box.<br>
Next progression is to remove mailman (we dont use it) and see if this
patches things up.<br>
<br>
On 5208R ALL old aliases work but if I now create a new one, I get "user
unknown".<br>
Very strange.<br>
<br>
Would anyone have any other suggestions please?<br>
