THANKS AND SUMMARY on SCO Xenix mail aliaes

[Nhan Tran]

  Thank you to all who have answered my question about how to set system-wide
   mail alias.

  I summarize it here for the benefits of those who don't know about it:

  -----------------------------------

  In the directory /usr/lib/mail, edit the file aliases in the following format:

   group:user1,user2,...

   You have to be the superuser, owner & group of the file should be bin,
   permision should be 0644.

  You can hash it to speed it up by running (in the same directory)

   ./aliashash aliases
  
   ----------------------------

   The maliases file is used for machine aliases and would look like this:

    uunet: joe!fred!tom!uunet!

   To send mail through uunet, you would "mail uunet?sam" and uunet? would be
   replaced by joe!fred!tom!uunet!sam

    ----------------------------------

    The faliases file is for temporary forwarding aliases, and is for 
    temporary in- or out-of-system forwarding.

   ---------------------------------------

    You can also hash those two files too.
