Hi.
I have an Exim aliases file that works fine (let's call it
/etc/aliases). I want /etc/aliases to be able to include another
automatically generated aliases file (say, /etc/aliases.generated).
According to the Exim documentation on the "redirect router":
*
If an item is of the form
:include:<path name>
a list of further items is taken from the given file and included
at that point. Note: Such a file can not be a filter file; it is
just an out-of-line addition to the list. The items in the
included list are separated by commas or newlines and are not
subject to expansion. If this is the first item in an alias list
in an lsearch file, a colon must be used to terminate the alias
name. This example is incorrect:
list1 :include:/opt/lists/list1
It must be given as
list1: :include:/opt/lists/list1
Tainted data may not be used for a filename.
I can use the third form (last1: :include:/opt/lists/list1) in my
/etc/aliases file. However, I cannot use the first form:
:include:/etc/aliases.alternate
Am I misinterpreting the instruction?
Jason.
