DESCRIPTION

     aliasadm makes changes to the alias map.

     The alias map is an NIS+ table object with four columns:

     alias The name of the alias as a null terminated string.

     expansion
           The value of the alias as it would appear in  a  send-
           mail /etc/aliases file.

     options
           A list of options applicable to this alias.  The  only
           option   currently  supported  is   CANON.  With  this
           option, if the user has  requested  an  inverse  alias
           lookup,  and  there  is  more than one alias with this
           expansion, this alias is given preference.

     comments
           An arbitrary string  containing  comments  about  this
           alias.  The  sendmail(1M)  command  reads  this map in
           addition  to  the  NIS  aliases  map  and  the   local
           /etc/aliases database.


OPTIONS

     -a    Add an alias.

     -c    Change an alias.

     -d    Delete an alias.

     -e    Edit the alias map.
     -I    Initialize the NIS+ aliases database.

     -l    List the alias map.

     -m    Print or match an alias.

     -D domainname
           Edit the map in  domain   domainname  instead  of  the
           current domain.

     -f filename
           When editing or listing  the  database,  use  filename
           instead of invoking the editor.

     -M mapname
           Edit mapname instead of mail_aliases.
