Isabelle,

I don't think it is possible to use wildcards in /etc/aliases since the
username is being looked up by getpwname system function. But it can be
done through patching bin/control_rancid.

Hello!
I would just like to know if its possible to use wildcards in
the "aliases" file or if I can set an e-mail that will receive mail
# rancid/etc/aliases
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you very much for your time.
Best regards,
Isabelle.

To the best of my knowledge, you’re mixing apples and oranges there. Rancid does not actually control /etc/aliases at all. The ‘aliases’ file is used by your MTA (sendmail, postfix, et al) to provide specific direction for various email addresses on the system. All rancid does is append the rancid group name to either the ‘rancid-‘ or ‘rancid-admin-‘ string and use standard mailing calls to whatever MTA is running. The MTA is what governs the format of the /etc/aliases file.
