there. Rancid does not actually control /etc/aliases at all. The ‘aliases’
file is used by your MTA (sendmail, postfix, et al) to provide specific
direction for various email addresses on the system. All rancid does is append
the rancid group name to either the ‘rancid-‘ or ‘rancid-admin-‘ string and use
standard mailing calls to whatever MTA is running. The MTA is what governs the
format of the /etc/aliases file.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

I don't think it is possible to use wildcards in /etc/aliases since the
username is being looked up by getpwname system function. But it can be done
through patching bin/control_rancid.<br>
