other users can remove the link and replace it with a file or link of their own. The aliases file
(?§12.1 on page 460) should generally be a file, not a link, but if it is a link, and if that link
exists in an unsafe directory, sendmail will refuse to use it. If your aliases file is a link, and if
that link must live in a writable directory, you can enable this item. By enabling this
LinkedAliasFileInWritableDir item, you cause sendmail to run at increased risk, and to
allow aliases files that are links to live in a writable directory.

When a file lives in a directory that is writable by users other than root, or the trusted user
specified in the TrustedUser option (?§24.9.122 on page 1112), it should not be a link
because other users can remove the link and replace it with a file or link of their own.
When reading a file using the F configuration command (?§22.1.2 on page 857), sendmail
will ordinarily not allow such files to be links that live in writable directories. When such
files are links, and if that link lives in a directory that is unsafe, sendmail will run at
increased risk and will allow F files that are links to live in writable directories.
