Package: exim4 Version: 4.50-8sarge2 Severity: normal The format and content of /etc/aliases is not documented and there should be a manpage describing its content and how it can be used. I rescently came across a usenet reference to some content of an /etc/aliases file that made me curious as to what was possible when configuring this file. The posters file contained the following line. 'test2: :include:/var/www/web1/html/mailinglists/test2' I could find no reference to the content of /etc/aliases and dont know how to use such things as 'include'. I could not even find out what is expected to happen when aliasing a user to another alias, or to a non-existing user. There should be a manpage for /etc/aliases explaining its formant and possible usage senerios.
