.TH ALIASMAIL 8 .SH NAME aliasmail \- expand system wide mail aliases .SH SYNOPSIS .B upas/aliasmail .I arg ... .SH DESCRIPTION .PP .I Aliasmail expands mail aliases, its arguments, according to alias files. .I Aliasmail is normally invoked by a rule in the upas rewrite file, .IR rewrite (6). .PP If a line of an alias file begins with .BR #include , the line is replaced by the contents of the file whose name follows. Other lines, beginning with .B # are ignored as comment. .PP Otherwise, lines begin with a name. The rest of a name line gives the expansion. The expansion may contain multiple addresses and may be continued to another line by appending a backslash. Items are separated by white space. .PP The alias files are searched in the order they are listed, one per line, in .BR /mail/lib/namefiles . If the name is not found, the expansion is taken to be .BI local! name\f1. Under the .B -f option, alias files listed in .B /mail/lib/fromfiles are consulted instead, and the domain part only of the expansion is printed. .SH FILES .TF /mail/lib/namefiles .TP .B /mail/lib/namefiles names of system alias files .SH SOURCE .TP .B /sys/src/cmd/upas/alias .SH "SEE ALSO" .IR faces (1), .IR filter (1), .IR mail (1), .IR marshal (1), .IR mlmgr (1), .IR nedmail (1), .IR qer (8), .IR rewrite (6), .IR send (8), .IR smtp (8), .IR upasfs (4)
