My problem was to get sendmail-8.8.3 work on DU3.2D-1. I received
two answers which helped me forward. Unfortunately I accidentally deleted
those messages and I cannot remember their names but I still wish to thank
them apologise that I lost their names addresses.
My original question was:

And solution for the nis-part is to change one line in /etc/svc.conf:
aliases=local,yp should be aliases=local.
But problem goes on:
[14:19] proffa [/usr/sbin] #/sbin/rc3.d/S40sendmail restart
Cannot open DBM database /usr/lib/mail/mailertable: No such file or directory
Cannot open DBM database /usr/lib/mail/aliases: No such file or directory
Cannot create database for alias file /usr/lib/mail/aliases
SMTP Mail Service restarted
And both /usr/lib/mail/mailertable and /usr/lib/mail/aliases do exist:
[14:32] proffa [~] %ls -la /usr/lib/mail/{aliases,mailertable}
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 270419 Nov 30 02:10 /usr/lib/mail/aliases
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 0 Dec 1 14:18
/usr/lib/mail/mailertable
With sendmail-8.6.13 these problems don't exist but I want to use
8.8.3 because of the MIME -> 8-bit support and for security reasons as well.
