aliases(4)                                             aliases(4)



     NAME
          aliases - aliases file for sendmail

     SYNOPSIS
          /usr/lib/aliases

     DESCRIPTION
          This file describes user ID aliases that /etc/sendmail uses.
          It is a series of lines of the form

             name:addr1,addr2,...addrn

          The name is the name to alias, and the addr's are the ad-
          dresses to send the message to.  Lines beginning with white
          space are continuation lines.  Lines beginning with # are
          comments.

          Aliasing occurs only on local names.  Loops cannot occur,
          since no message is sent to any person more than once.
