Multiple aliases files

[Jim Richey]

Is there a way to get sendmail to use more than one aliases file? I'd
like to seperate our user aliases from out majordomo mailing list
aliases by putting them into two seperate aliases files. How can I get
sendmail to load both files into the database when I run newaliases?

define(`ALIAS_FILE',`/path/to/system/aliases,/path/to/majordomo/aliases')

in the m4 source produces:

# location of alias file
O AliasFile=/path/to/system/aliases,/path/to/majordomo/aliases

in the .cf file.

/etc/sendmail.cf
O AliasFile=/etc/aliases,/etc/aliases2

Yes, if you add multiple OAalias_file lines in your sendmail.cf file
