i think you're right that the newaliases sentence should be removed. i'm less sure about the change you propose though...it might be simpler to tell people to restart smtpd, but even then i'm not sure this is the business of afterboot(8). look at the text immediately after, which shows how to change the mailer to accept external connections: it makes no mention of restarting smtpd. in general, that's a normal pattern. i know afterboot(8) is a little different though. still, i would be inclined to say let's just zap the newaliases sentence. jmc
