ALIASES(5)          UNIX Programmer's Manual           ALIASES(5)

NAME
     aliases - aliases file for delivermail

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/lib/aliases

DESCRIPTION
     This file describes user id aliases that will be used by
     /_e_t_c/_d_e_l_i_v_e_r_m_a_i_l. It is formatted as a series of lines of
     the form
          name:addr1,addr2,...addrn
     The _n_a_m_e is the name to alias, and the _a_d_d_r_i are the
     addresses 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 can not occur,
     since no message will be sent to any person more than once.
