Hello folks, talking with a cusotmer about different mail problems he asked me about his xaliases file and told me that xaliases.dir and xaliases.pag had not been updated neither by the command 'newaliases' nor by 'sendmail -bi'. I found out that 'xaliases' have something to do with SEAL. I only know that SEAL is an extended mail service. How do I know, wheather he has installed SEAL or not? Customer thinks he has no SEAL, since he never heard about it. Could you give me a hint, where to find informations about SEAL (SPD ?) and how this xaliases come to his system when SEAL is really not installed? Thanks in advance, Corina

SEAL is the old name for Digital Firewall Services. (Unfortunately, we were liable to infringe a trademark by using the name SEAL, so we changed it to S.E.A.L. and then to DFWS ...) No customer ever installed SEAL/S.E.A.L./DFWS for himself. It is a consultancy service delivered by NSIS, formerly DC, formerly EIS ... The other problem you have is that DFWS was whatever the delivery consultant made of it. There were a number of "standard" parts to it, but many deliveries had extra bits tacked on. I have delivered DFWS many times, but there has never been any xaliases stuff involved. It sounds to me as though this might be sendmail V8 that has been installed. If the customer doesn't know where it came from, you'll have to ask the person who did the delivery ... T | |||||
