We are running VM 5.32.L (beta) on Sun SparcStation1/1+ with Sun OS 4.1.2. (We run the same version of VM on DecStation 3100s and an HP 9000/827 and they don't have this problem.) The problem: When you mail to an alias on the sun, the mail bounces back with an error similar to the following: ------------------------------Begin Bounced Mail------------------------------- From: Mailer-Daemon (Mail Delivery Subsystem) To: rbrunski Subject: Returned mail: User unknown Date: Thu, 25 Mar 93 09:45:28 MST ----- Transcript of session follows ----- 550 rutley... User unknown 550 Postmaster... User unknown ----- Unsent message follows ----- Return-Path: <rbrunski> Received: by madelaine.datap.ca (4.1/SMI-4.1) id AA09373; Thu, 25 Mar 93 09:45:28 MST Date: Thu, 25 Mar 93 09:45:28 MST From: rbrunski (Roxanne Brunskill) Message-Id: <9303251645.AA09373@madelaine.datap.ca> To: rutley Subject: testing ------------------------------End Bounced Mail------------------------------- But the mail is delivered fine to the alias and I (as Postmaster) don't receive any mail about bounced messages. Have you encountered this problem? I've talked to Sun, but they had no idea. Aliases work fine if you use mailtool or mail on the command line. It seems to be some strange interaction between VM and the Sun. Thanks. -- Roxanne Brunskill rbrunski@datap.ca Sandwell Inc.
