- I put an alias in /etc/aliases like:
-
- rnews: "/usr/spool/news/incoming/xxx"
-
- and send mail to rnews and it responds with a error message
- that it can not write to a file, permission denied. I change the
- permissions of the file and all directories above it and still get the
- message. I even change it to "/tmp/xxx" and I also try a .forward to
- a file with the same results! Any ideas for a fix?
-
- The mail server is on a Sparc running 4.1.3 without NIS.
-
- Thanks in advance,
