Hi

Is there alimit on how many alias file I can have, or can it keep going
into the ten's of thousands, depending on the operation system etc.


Also what the most efficient way of doing the following.

I have got 10000 individual domains, whos mail will be dropped locally.

i need to set up alias files for them (I was thinking of having
individual alias files for each domain, hence previous question, since
dbm I heard falters at very large numbers, and i want something
scalable)

Is it better to have the full email address in the alias file eg
paul@???:popbox1

or just paul:popbox1

When I do the latter it throws an error cannot find aliase file for
localdomiain.com

I must be doing something wrong I think....

Iqbal
