- I am having trouble with our sendmail. (All of it seems like witchcraft to
- me.) How do I direct output to a file? I tried in sendmail/aliases
-
- sysadmin: /Users/ivo/Mailboxes/sysadmin.mbox/mbox
-
- loaded it (newaliases), and tried mailing to sysadmin. This worked fine
- locally, but when someone from another machine tries to mail to
- sysadmin@next.agsm.ucla.edu I get a file creation error:

- PS: I would rather not install a new system (like IDA), because I had tried
- this once, which screwed up all mail-delivery completely, and because I didn't
- know the internal mechanisms of mail-delivery, then went back spending a few
- hours reinstating the old sendmail system. (It was *NOT* plug-and-play, and
- there was no easy uninstall.)
