I am still installing INN so I thought that INN caused some problems with my sendmail setup, but maybe I should recompile sendmail. These messages started with kernel pre2.0.7 or so. I also have ld.so-1.7.14, gcc-2.7.2 and libc-5.2.18. I now removed the aliases.dir and aliases.pag files and it seems to be running now, but I thought that sendmail needs these files ????
I don`t know if this is kernel specific, but suddenly started after upgrading to a new kernel.
I will try to compile sendmail, maybe this solves the problem for me....
