aliases - aliases file for sendmail
Description
The aliases file is an ASCII file that describes user ID aliases that are used in It is formatted as a series of lines in the following
form:
name: name_1, name2, name_3, . . .
The name is the name to alias, and the name_n are the aliases for that name. Each is separated from the next by a new line.
Continuation lines begin with white space. Comment lines begin with a number sign (#).
You can only assign aliases to local names. Loops are not allowed because a message should be sent to a person only once.
After an alias has been applied, local and valid recipients who have a file in their home directory can have messages forwarded to the list
of users defined in that file.
This is only the raw data file; the actual information pertaining to aliases is placed into binary format in the files and using the pro-
gram The command should be executed each time the aliases file changes. This command allows the new changes to take effect.
Restrictions
Because of restrictions in a single alias cannot contain more than approximately 1000 bytes of information. You can specify longer aliases
by chaining; that is, use a dummy name for the last name in the alias, which creates a continuation alias.
