Getting two mails for each mail id's

Dear all,
We have one internal Mail server with sendmail and imss 7.1.
2-3 days before we added some aliase entries in /etc/aliases(ie some users want a copy of the mails to another ID also).
Now the user get two copy of each mails in their second maild id (ex:
user : user1@1.com,user2@2.com
2 copies of each mail was sent to user2@2.com)

I attach the sendmail.cf files here.

Please help me to solve this issue.

Regards,

C.Shakthi

Re: Getting two mails for each mail id's

Please show the sendmail.mc configuration files instead of the pre-processed .cf files: the .mc files are much more human-readable. I'd think very few people are willing to debug Sendmail .cf files for fun.

Are you sure the user1@1.com mailbox has not been configured to forward everything to user2@2.com?

Check the mail log. It is typically located at /var/log/mail.log, but may be different depending on your Linux distribution. If you can't find it, read your syslog daemon configuration to find out where it sends the mail logs.

Use the mail log to verify where this server has sent the emails. If the mails have been sent to the correct destinations from this server, the problem is at 1.com email server.
