From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; (R1 1.1); .NET CLR 1.1.4322; FDM; .NET CLR 2.0.50727) Description of problem: When you remove sendmail it also removes /etc/aliases.db. When you install fc6 and then use system-switch-mail and switch to postfix. When you remove sendmail it removes /etc/aliases.db So then postfix is without /etc/aliases.db You have to remember to run newaliases to put it back. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sendmail-8.13.8-3.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install system 2.system-switch-mail to postfix 3.rpm -e sendmail Actual Results: /etc/aliases.db is gone Expected Results: Should either not remove the file or run newaliases if it exists. Additional info: I have seen this for a while on older versions of Fedora. You have to remember to run newaliases or postfix doesn't work very well.
Please have a look at sendmail-8.14.1-4.1.fc6 in FC-6-testing.
Fixed in updates in package sendmail-8.14.1-4.1.
