-.Sh NAME
-.Nm aliases
-.Nd aliases file for sendmail
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.Nm aliases
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-This file describes user
-.Tn ID
-aliases used by
-.Pa /usr/sbin/sendmail .
-The file resides in
-.Pa /etc
-and
-is formatted as a series of lines of the form
-.Bd -filled -offset indent
-name: name_1, name_2, name_3, . . .
-.Ed
-.Pp
-The
-.Em name
-is the name to alias, and the
-.Em name_n
-are the aliases for that name.
-Lines beginning with white space are continuation lines.
-Lines beginning with
-.Ql #
-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
-After aliasing has been done, local and valid recipients who have a
-.Dq Pa .forward
-file in their home directory have messages forwarded to the
-list of users defined in that file.
-.Pp
-This is only the raw data file; the actual aliasing information is
-placed into a binary format in the file
-.Pa /etc/aliases.db
-using the program
-.Xr newaliases 1 .
-A
-.Xr newaliases
-command should be executed each time the aliases file is changed for the
-change to take effect.

-.Sh BUGS
-If you have compiled
-.Xr sendmail
-with DBM support instead of NEWDB,
-you may have encountered problems in
-.Xr dbm 3
-restricting a single alias to about 1000 bytes of information.
-You can get longer aliases by ``chaining''; that is, make the last name in
-the alias be a dummy name which is a continuation alias.
-.Sh HISTORY
-The
-.Nm
-file format appeared in
-.Bx 4.0 .
