To do this, add the Aliasfile entry to your pro- file. See for more information. -help Prints a list of the valid options to this command. -list -nolist Prints the addresses on separate lines. If you do not specify the -list option, the addresses are separated by commas and printed on as few lines as possible. -normalize -nonormalize Instructs to try to track down the official hostname of the address. This can be suppressed by using -nonormalize. The default is -nonormalize. -user useraddr -nouser Displays all the aliases that contain a specific name.

You must specify the complete user name that you have used in your alias file.
