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.
FILES
/etc/aliases
mail aliases for the local host in ASCII format
