Like I said, dump the exported text file as aliases.txt in the user
directory...if you're talking about letting the user do this unattended,
share the user's mail dir over the network (and restrict file system rights
to just aliases.txt for safety if you want). As for an actual button
called "Import," no, there isn't one, you're right about that, but it's
just a text file and the KB indicates quite clearly that replacing it at
the file level is fine--no need to "tell" the GUI about a change.
Or maybe I'm not quite getting the gap you speak of? Maybe we should let
Tor let us know if I've answered his question.
