For the MAILER-DEAMON address look into the sendmail.cf file.<br />
Also, dowload the source code for sendmail form <a href="http://www.sendmail.org" rel="ugc">www.sendmail.org</a>. When you un-tar it in the sendmail-x.x.x/cf/cf directory is a file with all the sendmail options to build a new sendmail.cf file. If all else fails follow the doc and build a new sendmail.cf file to suit your needs.<br />
<br />
For the aliases have you tried -<br />
<br />
find / -name aliases -print<br />
<br />
If you have an aliases file that should find it. In all the Linux machines I've setup the aliases file was in /etc. <br />
If you run newaliases does it complain there is no alias files?<br />
<br />

Hello,<br />
<br />
How do I change the message that are sent from the MAILER-DAEMON address, when someone sends a message to an email address on my server(s) that doesn´t excist?<br />
I run a Redhat Linux 4.2 and a Redhat Linux 5.0 server.<br />
<br />
BTW, where is the alias file (the one that alias email addresses to excisting users) on a Linux 1.3.97 system? In Redhat it is located at /etc/aliases...but in Linux 1.3.97???<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.

MAILER-DAEMON and aliases

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
