-.TH ALIASES 5
-.UC 4
-.SH NAME
-aliases \- aliases file for delivermail
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B /usr/lib/aliases
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-This file describes user id aliases
-that will be used
-by
-.I /etc/delivermail.
-It is formatted as a series of lines
-of the form
-.in +0.5i
-name:addr1,addr2,...addrn
-.in
-The
-.I name
-is the name to alias,
-and the
-.I addri
-are the addresses to send the message to.
-Lines beginning with white space
-are continuation lines.
-Lines beginning with `\|#\|'
-are comments.
-.PP
-Aliasing occurs only on local names.
-Loops can not occur,
-since no message will be sent to any person
-more than once.
-.PP
-This is only the raw data file; the actual aliasing information is
-placed into a binary format in the files
-/usr/lib/aliases.dir
-and
-/usr/lib/aliases.pag
-using the program
-.IR newaliases (5).
-A
-.I newaliases
-command should be executed each time the aliases file is changed for the
-change to take effect.
-.SH SEE\ ALSO
-newaliases(1), dbm(3), delivermail(8)
-.SH BUGS
-Because of restrictions in
-.IR dbm (3)
-a single alias cannot contain more than about 1000 bytes of information.
-You can get longer aliases by ``chaining''; i.e. make the last name in
-the alias by a dummy name which is a continuation alias.
