Howto - nullclient read aliases

[edsp...@yahoo.com]

Is there a way to create a nullclient configuration file that reads
the local aliases file on a client?
If not is there documentation that will show how to do this?

I need to redirect root emails of a subset of Unix clients to a
different user than the main group of Unix clients.

You've already asked this. The answer is still "no".

If you want to process aliases locally, then you can't use a nullclient
configuration. Use a normal configuration with a SMART_HOST, masquarading,
and local aliases defined.

Chuck is absolutely right. And here's a minimal example of such an mc file
which is basically a copy of nullclient.m4 but allows aliases and .forwards:

OSTYPE(`your-os-type')dnl
define(`SMART_HOST',`your-smtp-relay')dnl
ifdef(`confFROM_HEADER',, `define(`confFROM_HEADER', `<$g>')')
define(`_DEF_LOCAL_MAILER_FLAGS', `lsDFM5q')
MASQUERADE_AS(`your-domain')dnl
FEATURE(`masquerade_envelope')dnl
MAILER(`local')dnl
MAILER(`smtp')dnl
