I would prefer root: :include: /etc/mail/rootalias or maybe root: :include: /etc/sysconfig/rootalias (and things like a silent skip if that alias is already defined) but we are arguing here about details of an implementation. I think that there is a general agreement that something of that sort would be highly desirable. Should there be a bugzilla RFE for that? Michal
