: Hi there,
: I am running BSDI 2.1.  I have configured a virtual domain for one of my

: I have a problem with my sendmail configuration however.  I created a new
: .mc file and generated the new sendmail.cf file(after saving the original
: file).  

: The new .mc file contains the entries:

: Cw hisdomain.com

: and in the LOCAL_RULE_0 section:
: R$+     <@ hisdomain.com> $#local $:$1.fund 

: the /etc/aliases file has the following lines added to the bottom of the
: file:
: MAILER-DAEMON.fund: postmaster.fund
: postmaster.fund: root.fund
: webmaster.fund: root.fund
: hostmaster.fund: root.fund
: sales.fund: root.fund
: root.fund: hisname

: where hisname is a valid user-id on my server.  

: When I execute the "newaliases" command, I get infinite loop errors. 

: Can someone give me a reason for this problem.  I am almost sure I followed
: all the steps outlined in the BSDI manual.

: Hope someone can shed some light on this.
