List them in an external file and reference to it from /etc/aliases. For example: # $Id: aliases,v 1.4 1997/06/29 23:09:07 wosch Exp $ # @(#)aliases 5.3 (Berkeley) 5/24/90 # # Aliases in this file will NOT be expanded in the header from # Mail, but WILL be visible over networks. # # >>>>>>>>>> The program "newaliases" must be run after # >> NOTE >> this file is updated for any changes to # >>>>>>>>>> show through to sendmail. # # bash$ newaliases # # # See also RFC 2142, `MAILBOX NAMES FOR COMMON SERVICES, ROLES # AND FUNCTIONS', May 1997 all-users: :include:/etc/mail/all-users Will use all entries in the file /etc/mail/all-users Regards, d. +-------------------------------------------------------+ | Dean Hollister, | dean@odyssey.apana.org.au | | Perth, Western Australia. | deanh@iinet.net.au | +-------------------------------------------------------+
