??? As with any righthand side of an
alias, there can be space between the alias colon and the lead colon of the :include:.
The /path is the full pathname of a file containing a list of recipients. It follows the
:include: with intervening space allowed.
The /path should be a full pathname. If it is a relative name (such as ../file), it is relative
to the sendmail queue directory. For all but V8 sendmail, th e/path must not be
quoted. If it is quoted, the quotation marks are interpreted as part of the filename.
For V8 sendmail, th e/path can be quoted, and the quotation marks are automatically
stripped.
If the /path cannot be opened for reading for any reason, sendmail prints the following
warning and ignores any recipients that might have been in the file:
include: open path: reason
Here, reason is ???no suchfile or directory,??? ???permission denied,??? or something similar.
If /path exists and can be read, sendmail reads it one line at a time. Empty lines
are ignored. Beginning withV8 sendmail, lines that begin with a # character are also
ignored:
addr
# a comment
?†? empty line is ignored
addr2
Eachline in the :include: file is treated as a list of one or more recipient addresses.
Where there is more than one, each should be separated from the others by commas:
addr1
addr2, addr3, addr4
The addresses can themselves be aliases that appear to the left in the aliases file.
