Why isn’t Sendmail reading my genericstable file?

Asked By CuriousCoder42 On

I'm relatively new to using Sendmail and trying to rewrite the sender addresses. I added the necessary configurations to my `/etc/mail/sendmail.mc` file to enable the genericstable feature, but it seems like Sendmail isn't able to read the `/etc/mail/genericstable` file. Can anyone give me tips on troubleshooting this issue? I appreciate any help you can provide!

Interesting to see people still using Sendmail! Usually, folks switch to Postfix for simpler management. But if you're tied into a complex setup with Sendmail, it might be worth sticking with it. Just a thought!

Thanks for your input! I did build the `.db` hash file and restarted Sendmail, so hopefully, the file permissions are correct. Just trying to work through these issues.

Have you checked if the hash database file for genericstable was created correctly and has the proper permissions? Also, make sure you restarted the Sendmail service after making your changes.
