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