I assumed that the term 'rpm distribution" was well known, but I was
obviously wrong. For future notes, it is just a convenient software package
that has simplified (un)install and validation. For more information, you
can go to http://www.rpm.org.

From the looks of it, newaliases is a symlink to /usr/sbin/exim. I commented
out the line knowing of the infinite loop issue (I must have had it in there
from an older Exim install).

Thanks for your help, and next time I will be more verbose/descriptive.
