<header>Alias databases built by Postfix</header>

<center><tt>alias_database</tt></center>
<hr>

This parameter specifies the alias database(s) that are built with
&quot;newaliases&quot; or &quot;sendmail -bi&quot;. This is a separate
configuration parameter, because
<a href=opt_alias_maps><tt>alias_maps</tt></a> may specify tables that
are not necessarily all under control by Postfix.

<p>

Typical configurations are:

<ul>
<li> <tt>dbm:/etc/aliases</tt>
<li> <tt>dbm:/etc/mail/aliases</tt>
<li> <tt>hash:/etc/aliases</tt>
<li> <tt>hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/opt/majordomo/aliases</tt>
</ul>
