meillo@1 41 <p>The alias file consists of lines of the form:</p>
meillo@1 42 <pre>
meillo@1 43 local_part: item1, item2, ...
meillo@1 44 </pre>
meillo@1 45
meillo@1 46 <p>Items can be surrounded by quotes '"'. If within the quotes other
meillo@1 47 quotes are needed for an address they can be escaped with a leading
meillo@1 48 backslash '\'.</p>
meillo@1 49
meillo@1 50 <p>A leading '\' indicates that this address shall not be further
meillo@1 51 expanded.</p>
meillo@1 52
meillo@1 53 <p>A leading pipe symbol '|' indicates that the item shall be treated
meillo@1 54 as a pipe command. The content of the message will then be sent to the
meillo@1 55 standard input of a command. The command will run under the user id
meillo@1 56 and group id masqmail is running as. If quotes are needed, the pipe
meillo@1 57 symbol must appear <i>within</i> the quotes.</p>
meillo@1 58
meillo@1 59 <p>Loops will be detected, the offending address will be ignored.</p>
meillo@1 60
meillo@1 61 <p>Aliases will be expanded at <i>delivery</i> time. This means that
meillo@1 62 if there is a message still in the queue and you change any alias
meillo@1 63 which matches one of the recipient addresses, the change will have
meillo@1 64 effect next time a delivery is attemped.</p>
meillo@1 65
meillo@1 66 <p>There is no need to restart masqmail or run any command when the
meillo@1 67 alias file has been changed.</p>
