ALIASMAIL(8) ALIASMAIL(8)
NAME
aliasmail - expand system wide mail aliases
SYNOPSIS
upas/aliasmail arg ...
DESCRIPTION
Aliasmail expands mail aliases, its arguments, according to
alias files. Aliasmail is normally invoked by a rule in the
upas rewrite file, rewrite(6).
If a line of an alias file begins with #include, the line is
replaced by the contents of the file whose name follows.
Other lines, beginning with # are ignored as comment.
Otherwise, lines begin with a name. The rest of a name line
gives the expansion. The expansion may contain multiple
addresses and may be continued to another line by appending
a backslash. Items are separated by white space.
The alias files are searched in the order they are listed,
one per line, in /mail/lib/namefiles. If the name is not
found, the expansion is taken to be local!name. Under the
-f option, alias files listed in /mail/lib/fromfiles are
consulted instead, and the domain part only of the expansion
is printed.
