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