#2620 Disabled sendmail aliases now treated as comments

[Anonymous]

Lines 39 to 42 of sendmail/aliases-lib.pl remove
comments from the list of aliases. Unfortunately, they
also remove disabled aliases (since those look like
comments). No webmin user can then regain access to
modify/enable/etc any alias that is disabled.

I haven't had time to figure out what the
comment-detecting regex (/^\s*#+\s*(.*)/) should
properly be, so my workaround was to just delete lines
39-42 and modify the subsequent "elsif" to "if".

I can confirm this as a problem too (Centos 4.3/Webmin 1.30).

The problem is that there are ususually comments there anyway..

so why not change the #flag webmin uses to disable aliases
to (say)
#disabled#

This is a bug in Webmin 1.300 - it is supposed to only flag
comments like # Webmin: as descriptions for aliases, and
treat anything else as just a disabled alias.

I have released a fixed module at
http://www.webmin.com/updates.html .
