Description Darren Henderson 2002-12-01 23:10:01 UTC

If sendmail is configured to use multiple alias files (ie you have
define(`ALIAS_FILE',`/etc/mail/aliases,/etc/mail/aka/aliases2')dnl
within your sendmail.mc file) Makefile will only see the changes to
/etc/mail/aliases. sendmail -bi/newaliases work fine but since Makefile 
doesn't know that secondary alias files are targets sendmail -bi isn't
invoked

Fix: 

Define SENDMAIL_ALIASES=/etc/mail/aliases in /etc/defaults/make.conf
that can be overridden in /etc/make.conf if there are multiple alias 
files. 

Each of those alias files would have be treated as a target in 
/etc/mail/Makefile.
How-To-Repeat: 
Configure sendmail to use multiple aliases files, create the new aliases 
file and then run make in /etc/mail

I've checked in a fix to CURRENT which allows for multiple files 
to be listed in SENDMAIL_ALIASES and only rebuilds the changed files. 
See PR 40540 for more information.
