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.
