NAME

       newinclude - create a binary mailing list from an :include: file

SYNOPSIS

       newinclude list

DESCRIPTION

       newinclude  reads a sendmail-style :include: file, list, and converts it into a binary format in list.bin
       for use by fastforward.

       newinclude first writes the mailing list to list.tmp, and then moves it to list.bin.   If  there  is  any
       problem creating list.tmp, newinclude leaves list.bin alone.

       newinclude always creates list.bin world-readable.

       COMPATIBILITY  WARNING: sendmail reads list directly; fastforward needs list.bin.  sendmail's strategy is
       a disaster if you save list to disk at the same moment that sendmail reads it; the list will be truncated
       at  a random spot, perhaps in the middle of an address.  Furthermore, if the system crashes while you are
       writing list, list could be filled with all sorts of garbage.

LIST FORMAT

       list may contain any number of lines; each line may contain any number of addresses or further  :include:
       files.   See  newaliases(1)  for  details  on  the  address format.  Any line in file beginning with # is
       ignored.

       COMPATIBILITY WARNING: newinclude does not support file or program deliveries in  :include:  files.   You
       can use the secure delivery mechanisms described in dot-qmail(5) instead.

       COMPATIBILITY WARNING: Versions of sendmail before V8 did not allow comments in :include: files.
