Aliases are used to provide mail account mapping services. For example, incoming mail for postmaster may get delivered to supervisor instead. These alias mappings can be stored in the Unoverica Message Transport directory or in a text file.

ASCII string specifying the location of the ALIAS database, either in the form of "INTERNAL:" or "STAB:vol:path/filename".

INTERNAL:ALIASES

"INTERNAL:ALIASES" indicates that the ALIAS database is to be read from Unoverica Message Transport’s internal directory. This directory is managed with the UCMCON utility.

You may also point this option to a text file on your NetWare server instead. This may be desirable if you share an ALIAS file with other SENDMAIL-based mail systems, such as those running on UNIX or Windows NT. To use a file for the alias database, you must use the "STAB:vol:/path/filename" format.
