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.
