DESCRIPTION

The conflict command is used to find conflicts in aliases and to find invalid
mail drops.  conflict is not designed to be run directly by the user; it is
designed to be called by cron and other programs used for system accounting.
The conflict command is a system administrator command that is usually invoked
by its full path name.  The conflict command is part of the Message Handling
(MH) package.

The conflict command searches all specified alias files for duplicate alias
names that do not resolve to the same address.  By default, conflict searches
/usr/lib/mh/MailAliases.  conflict also searches all specified maildrop
directories for mailbox files with names that do not correspond to valid users
defined in /etc/passwd.

The conflict lists its output on the display, unless you specify the -mail
flag.  -mail causes conflict to mail its output to the specified user.

FLAGS

-help       Displays help information for the command.

-mail user  Sends the results of the conflict command to the specified user.
