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