Hi.
I have an Exim aliases file that works fine (let's call it
/etc/aliases). I want /etc/aliases to be able to include another
automatically generated aliases file (say, /etc/aliases.generated).
According to the Exim documentation on the "redirect router":

I can use the third form (last1: :include:/opt/lists/list1) in my
/etc/aliases file. However, I cannot use the first form:
:include:/etc/aliases.alternate
Am I misinterpreting the instruction?
