It would be nice it people read the documentation :-).
Or even the configuration output :-).

One of the configuration questions is: How many system wide aliases.

Elm supports both user and system wide aliases.  However, due to the
added information needed by elm, this file is not the same as the
smail or the sendmail aliases.

In 2.2 we moved the location of the file, but in 2.1 it's in the
mail spool directory.  If root runs newalias, it will update the system
file.
