Actually, I don't think that make and makemap are at all related. makemap builds some kind of database somewhere on the system with the file you specify. This database is accessed by sendmail. It is faster that way when you start having humongous alias and generics tables that are incredibly long. The database method becomes much faster in those instances. So in short to answer you, no, make and makemap are unrelated. make is the c compiler and makemap is a database builder. Hope that was helpful in some way. - Jamie On Thu, 14 Dec 2000, Eric F Crist wrote: > Ok, Jamie, that makemap thing worked. is there a way I can do that > automatically with just the make command like I can with virtusertable and > others? > > thanks, > > Eric > > P.S. other than that small problem, everything's working fine. > > On Thu, 14 Dec 2000, you wrote: > > Ok.
