NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       ali - list mail aliases (only available within the message
       handling system, mh)

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       ali [-alias aliasfile] [-help]  [-[no]list]  [-[no]normalize]
 [-user useraddr] [-nouser] [aliases...]

OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Specifies  the alias file to be consulted by ali.  You can
       specify more than one alias file, but each aliasfile  must
       be preceded by -alias. In addition to any alias files that
       you  specify,  ali  consults   the   system   alias   file
       /usr/lib/mh/MailAliases.

              You  can  set up an entry in your so that ali automatically
 consults an alias file. To do  this,  add
              the  Aliasfile  entry  to your profile. See mh_profile(4) for more information.  Prints a list of the
              valid   options   to   this  command.   Prints  the
              addresses on separate lines. If you do not  specify
              the  -list  option,  the addresses are separated by
              commas and printed on as  few  lines  as  possible.
              Instructs  ali  to  try  to track down the official
              hostname of the address. This can be suppressed  by
              using  -nonormalize.  The  default is -nonormalize.
              Displays all the aliases that  contain  a  specific
              name.  Instead  of  listing the addresses that each
              given alias expands to, ali lists the aliases  that
              expand  to  include  each  given  address. You must
              specify the complete user name that you  have  used
              in your alias file.

       The defaults for this command are:

       -alias  /usr/lib/mh/MailAliases
       -nolist
       -nonormalize
       -nouser
