NAME
     newinclude - create a binary mailing list from an :include: file

SYNOPSIS
     newinclude list

DESCRIPTION
     newinclude  reads	a  sendmail-style  :include: file, list, and converts it
     into a binary format in list.bin for use by fastforward.

     newinclude first writes the mailing list to list.tmp, and then moves it  to
     list.bin.	 If  there  is	any problem creating list.tmp, newinclude leaves
     list.bin alone.

     newinclude always creates list.bin world-readable.

     COMPATIBILITY WARNING: sendmail  reads  list  directly;  fastforward  needs
     list.bin.	 sendmail's  strategy  is a disaster if you save list to disk at
     the same moment that sendmail reads it; the list will  be	truncated  at  a
     random spot, perhaps in the middle of an address.	Furthermore, if the sys-
     tem crashes while you are writing list, list could be filled with all sorts
     of garbage.

LIST FORMAT
     list  may	contain any number of lines; each line may contain any number of
     addresses or further :include: files.  See newaliases(1) for details on the
     address format.  Any line in file beginning with # is ignored.

     COMPATIBILITY WARNING: newinclude does not support file or program deliver-
     ies in :include: files.  You can use the  secure  delivery  mechanisms  de-
     scribed in dot-qmail(5) instead.

     COMPATIBILITY  WARNING:  Versions	of sendmail before V8 did not allow com-
     ments in :include: files.
