ALIASLOOKUP(8)

💌 ALIASLOOKUP(8) — the bestie debrief

okay so real talk, this is a page from section 8 of the manual (that's the sysadmin / maintenance girlies section, iykyk ✨). It's called aliaslookup and it's here to spill the tea on your mail aliases. Let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

aliaslookup — look up mail aliases 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

aliaslookup [-m module] [address...]

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so aliaslookup is a command line diagnostic tool, bestie. What does it do? It goes digging through Courier's mail alias database and shows you the aliases for whatever address you hand it — like, the actual mail accounts that address is aliased to. 🕵️‍♀️✨

and here's the thing: mail that's sent to address doesn't sit there, it gets delivered to the aliased addresses instead. That's the whole point, no cap. 📬

the optional module is rarely needed — like, you probably won't touch it, fr fr. If you're curious anyway, go peek at makealiases(8)[1] for more info. 👑
