- One way is to use your favorite editor to create a distribution list in
- elm/aliases.text in this format:
-
- alias = Real Name = user@address
-
- and end it with:
-
- group_alias = Group Alias = alias1,alias2,alias3...
-
- To activate the aliases, run "elmalias". Using the list of aliases instead
- of full email addresses gets around the 256-character limit per alias.
