	Perhaps only:

	# cd $MAILSHARE/db
	# ../bin/newdb localnames
	# ../bin/zmailer router	# For the first time, latter this isn't needed

	You don't mention which version of ZMailer you are using ?
	Earlier there was requirement that the content of the  localnames
	file is kept in  sort(1)  order.  With newer configuration scripts
	that is no longer necessary.
