I don't find a note to that effect in the Linux man pages. When I run
newaliases, it creates a file [majordomo.aliases].db in the same directory as
[majordomo.aliases]. This isn't a text file, but I'd always assumed it was in
the same format as /etc/aliases.db.
Can you point to documentation of this point?
