SYNOPSYS

DESCRIPTION
Alias_manager is a program that helps in installing aliases for newly created lists and deleting aliases for closed lists.

/etc/sympa/wwsympa.conf (sendmail_aliases configuration parameter).
Administrators using MTA functionalities to manage aliases (ie virtual_regexp and transport_regexp with postfix) can disable alias
management by setting sendmail_aliases configuration parameter to none.

add listname domain
Add the set of aliases for the mailing list listname in the domain domain.
del listname domain
Remove the set of aliases for the mailing list listname in the domain domain.

DESCRIPTION
Sympa is scalable and highly customizable mailing list manager. It can cope with big lists (200,000 subscribers) and comes with a complete
(user and admin) Web interface. It is internationalized, and supports the us, fr, de, es, it, fi, and chinese locales. A scripting language
allows you to extend the behavior of commands. Sympa can be linked to an LDAP directory or an RDBMS to create dynamic mailing lists. Sympa
provides S/MIME and HTTPS based authentication and encryption. Sympa is a modern mailing-list manager. It supports a lot of useful
features.
OPTIONS -d, --debug
Enable debug mode.
-f, --file=another.sympa.conf
Force Sympa to use an alternative configuration file instead of /etc/sympa/sympa.conf.
-k, --keepcopy=directory
This option tells Sympa to keep a copy of every incoming message, instead of deleting them. `directory' is the directory to store
messages.
-l, --lang=catalog
Set this option to use a language catalog for Sympa. The corresponding catalog file `catalogue'.cat must be located in
