Description of problem: In the Installation guide https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Satellite/5.7/html-single/Installation_Guide/index.html we have the text : 5.2.1. Sendmail 2. Edit the /etc/aliases file on the mail server and add the following line: rogerthat01: | /etc/smrsh/ack_enqueuer.pl Correct is rogerthat01: |/etc/smrsh/ack_enqueuer.pl or rogerthat01: "| /etc/smrsh/ack_enqueuer.pl" In the http://www.postfix.org/aliases.5.html we have the following text : |command Mail is piped into command. Commands that contain special char- acters, such as whitespace, should be enclosed between double quotes. See local(8) for details of delivery to command. When the command fails, a limited amount of command output is mailed back to the sender. The file /usr/include/sysexits.h defines the expected exit status codes. For example, use "|exit 67" to simulate a "user unknown" error, and "|exit 0" to imple- ment an expensive black hole. so I suppose it our specific case both corrections are applicable , either having no space after the pipe | , or using "" to enclose the whole thing. (if the command was something like rogerthat01: "|/etc/smrsh/ack_enqueuer.pl some_option_here" then only the correction with "" would aply) The https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Satellite/5.7/html-single/User_Guide/index.html , has it in correct format , inside "". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
The User guide correct example is at 6.4.3. Redirecting Notifications The same thing as an example can be seen in the Installation Guide under 5.2.1. Sendmail rogerthat01: | /etc/smrsh/ack_queuer.pl but I could not find a straight-forward guide/man-pages for sendmail , to see how the format should be. The Installation Guide for 5.6 has the same error The instructions for sendmail and postfix have again no "" , while the user guide encloses in ""
Both examples published live: Sendmail: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Satellite/5.7/html/Installation_Guide/sect-Red_Hat_Satellite-Installation_Guide-Configuration-Message_Transfer_Agent_MTA_Configuration.html#sect-Red_Hat_Satellite-Installation_Guide-Message_Transfer_Agent_MTA_Configuration-Sendmail Postfix: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Satellite/5.7/html/Installation_Guide/sect-Red_Hat_Satellite-Installation_Guide-Message_Transfer_Agent_MTA_Configuration-Postfix.html Georgios, any further changes required?
