[SOLVED] /etc/aliases.db

[HSorgYves]

During installation the file /etc/aliases.db gets modified, however /etc/aliases remains unmodified. Where does this file come from? What does it contain?

maybe a newaliases is executed - so the aliases.db is just built again from aliases...

Can someone confirm this? Or does it get created from somewhere else (i.e. using another file)?

The source code should be able to confirm or disprove it.

there's a config variable CMD_NEWALIASES and this is called during setup - so as long as you don't change this, the single command "newaliases" is executed during the setup.
