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

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.

       COMPATIBILITYWARNING: 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 system crashes while you  are
       writing list, list could be filled with all sorts of garbage.

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.

       COMPATIBILITYWARNING:newinclude  does not support file or program deliveries in :include: files.  You
       can use the secure delivery mechanisms described in dot-qmail(5) instead.

       COMPATIBILITYWARNING: Versions of sendmail before V8 did not allow comments in :include: files.
