Make sure thatthe /etc/mail/aliases source file contains all the mail aliases that you want tohave available throughout the domain. Refer to aliases(4) for more information.7. Clean all comments and other extraneous lines and information from the sourcefiles.These operations can be done through a sed or awk script or with a text editor.

Make sure that the data in all the source files is correctly formatted.Source file data needs to be in the correct format for that particular file. Check theman pages for the different files to make sure that each file is in the correct format.84 System Administration Guide: Naming and Directory Services (DNS, NIS, and LDAP) • January 2005
