The Alias_Pathname Options

Syntax:

          Option Alias_Pathname1=filename
          Option Alias_Pathname2=filename
                       ...
          Option Alias_Pathname6=filename

Description:

The Alias_Pathname options let you tell MAIL8 about alias files. Alias files are explained in detail in "expl mail alias".

To deactivate an alias file, use an Alias_Pathname option without specifying a file name, as in

          Option Alias_Pathname1=

If no alias files have been explicitly specified, the default is to use

          userid/_sysfiles/mail.alias

as Alias_Pathname1.

NOTE: MAIL8 determines the names of your alias files at the time you invoke the MAIL8 command. If you use an Option Alias_Pathname option to change to a new alias file, the change will not take effect until the next time you invoke the MAIL8 command or start a MAIL8 session.
