.SH NAME
make-lists \- Convert sendmail alias-file lists for PP
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B make-lists
.B /etc/aliases
.B ch.list
.B listdir/
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.I make-lists
program is a transition tool for sendmail users.
.IP /etc/aliases
is the sendmail alias file to be  processed.
.IP ch.list
\- the file to contain the PP list-table entries.
.IP listdir/
\- the lists found in the sendmail alias file will be collected
into seperate files in
.BR listdir ,
after which they may be maintained with
.BR mlist(1) .
.PP
A sendmail alias file handles mailing lists in two ways.  The first is by
including a user-maintained file, one user per line.   This is equivalent to
PP's way of doing things, and is not supported by this tool.  The other is
by forming a comma-seperated set of list members:

.nf
list: member1, member2, member3
.fi

these groups are extracted into seperate files in
.BR listdir ,
and a pp list-control line added to
.BR ch.list .
.PP
Each 
.B list
has an associated
.BR list -request
created at the same time.  If one existed in the sendmail-alias file, it is
used, otherwise
.I postmaster
is elected.
