MAILDBUPDATE(8)						       MAILDBUPDATE(8)

NAME
       mailDBupdate - manage users and aliases for /NextApps/Mail.app

SYNOPSIS
       mailDBupdate  [	-A  ]  [  -a aliases_domain ] [ -u users_domain ] [ -o
       directory ]

DESCRIPTION
       mailDBupdate creates and maintains the aliases and  passwd  files  that
       are  normally  found  in	 the  directory LocalLibraryImagesPeople.  The
       contents of these two files appear in  the  Users,  Groups,  and	 Login
       Names components of Mail's Addresses panel.

       Normally,  mailDBupdate	reads  the  subdirectories  of the aliases and
       users directories in the root NetInfo domain.  Aliases are  written  to
       the  aliases file, and login names for user accounts are written to the
       passwd file.  Alternate domains for both aliases and user accounts  can
       be specified with the -a and -u options.

       When  invoked  with  the	 -A option, mailDBupdate appends to its output
       files.  It does not check for duplicate entries that may already	 exist
       in the files.

       The  output files are normally written in LocalLibraryImagesPeople, but
       an alternate directory  may  be	specified  following  the  -o  option.
       However,	 note  that Mail only searches for aliases and passwd files in
       LocalLibarayImagesPeople.
