We're running MMDF here at U of MD, and I added a dbm-based
pre-expanded alias file to submit to speed it up. I have essentially
the same thing (print out the aliases file from the dbm version), but
it's built into the new "newaliases" as the -l option. Maybe that
should become standard? (-l is for "list", by the way.) There is one
problem -- the expanded version of the alias file is *much* larger than
the original, because of things like
msgs:msgs_local,...
msgs_local:/usr/local/post system 7 at shell,...
and would need to be compressed after regeneration.
